The numbers are secondary to the driving experience of course, but just curious if anyone’s ever benchmark to their conversion against a stopwatch?

I did some timed runs with my 3.6L and the biggest problem was getting the tires to hook and not spin. I don't use 1st gear at all and take off in 2nd and if i'm not careful i can still lay down 10 yards of rubber. That might look cool but it doesn't do you any good in terms of actually moving forward. The best time i got (that one time everything went perfect) was just under 4 seconds.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Not bad . . . but you need AWD! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) There is a reason the 959 had AWD. Tractive effort quickly becomes the limitation unless you're willing to run 18" wide rear rubber and to deal with the issues rubber that wide brings with it. Don't get me wrong guys, but, the reality is EV's have changed the game. Any 16 year old driving a Tesla Model S P100D AWD can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds with absolutely zero drama and zero talent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Zero to sixty probably isn't the reason to own a 914. Just to be clear . . . no ill will meant for you guys with big engines. If I hit the lottery I just might build a 914 with a Singer engine but till then. The art of cornering is where the 914's strenth is at. |
