I would really like to know what you have for 914 in the way of a hi mpg, respectable performance package.
I figure the 914 should be able to kick out 40+ mpg and get a 0 - 60 time in under 7 seconds. The new tdi jetta coming available in July will go 0 - 60 in 6.9 seconds and get 41 mpg in the city and 53 on the highway. However id does weigh 3300 pounds. I figure the 914 should be able to smoke that with the 1300 pound weight advantage. I am really looking forward to seeing what you have come up with Jake. trying not to hi jack the emissions thread but keep it on 914 world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) BTW you said you need 10 or 12 additional people. I would be # 2 ... I would gladly buy a super efficient 914 engine as opposed to buying a tdi jetta. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Keep this realistic!!!! Quit the day dreaming and hypothetical design!
Of course we can create 50 MPG- we have already done that! The Super 2 liter is a proven combo and is being further developed as we speak, but not a single person reading this can assemble that engine other than yours truly, because its a real bitch to build. Its also one of the most expensive engines I can create, for the HP output it IS the most expensive. That said, the old 140K mile engine in my 912E has been my driver car this week as I broke it out of moth balls to get some MPG figures. Today it still gets 35 MPG after not having an oil change for 10K miles. The 1911 is the combo. Cheap. Reliable and effective... You guys just don't like it because you are stuck in the "Bigger is better" mentality, in that case I'll suck your wallet dry and won't get you much more MPG than the 1911 will at 1/3 the price. You'll swear the 1911 is a 2056- |
