With all the v8 cars I am suprised at the speeds... For now my 914 has only seen towing speeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but I hope to see some insane speeds in the future.
my 74 911 with coil over suspension, 935 spring plates in the rear, 935 front suspension, 74 carrera tea tray spoiler, rsr front bumper with splitter has hit speeds upwards around 180 mph. Speedo only goes to 150 but that is at ~4750 - 5K rpm in 5th gear. So I can only guess what it was going at 6750 rpm in 5th. Engine is a 96 3.6 with SSI's, mildly warmed over and a chip. So somewhere around 315 - 325 HP. On the scales it weighs 2385 pounds. |

I've max my 150 mph speedo in the 914, but its about 7% off (due to 225/50/15 tires). So thats only about 140mph. |
