Sure, Andyrew, you're absolutely right, and I wasn't talking about your car but about those calculators in general. You're doing it right, but how many cars have a V8 or something in front of a 901? Without even mentioning breaking the 901 that stronger modern transmission you're putting in will have HALF the driveline loss and better ratios. Limited slip? Whatever, big difference, but that calculator treats them all the same. The results in those calculators are interesting but only vaguely related to the real world. That's why I see them as being fun for buddies kidding with their friends while drinking beer, but not much more than that.
I'm still surprised that no one's been to a drag strip. I know it's not standard Porsche milieu and T4 engined 914's aren't known for acceleration, but that's still the only standard performance measure that most of us will ever have access to, as opposed to bench-racing could's and should's. No big deal or anything, I'm just surprised. |
