I thought this was an interesting proposition until going onto youtube and in the first several clip you see cars bumping which instantly tells me a 914 will not fare well against a 3500 lb muscle car.
One of the biggest challenges when you are racing a high HP car is racing “your” race...as in fast corners. If they get ahead of you on the first straight they then control the corner speed which kills your momentum. I have had this battle many times with a Cobra; I would catch him at the end of the straight but could not get by because of his torque. The other huge factor is the track, if it has mostly long straights then the muscle car will not need to corner well. Give me 300 hp (Jeff?), a disposable 914 (anyone?), a small track (Blackhawk Farms?) and I will give it a shot! I am sure there would be a line of others here who would be willing to give it a shot also. |
