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

If you're looking for the "push you back in the seat" acceleration in a 914, good luck.
The short wheelbase of the car will always lead to traction issues as there it no real "weight transfer" to the rear wheels as the weight is already there so there is no real leverage. You could go with a really sticky R compound tire and hope the drivetrain stays in one piece when they don't spin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That feeling of acceleration is a combination of a lot of factors. Gearing Torque curve Weight Traction The 2.7 with the shorter 2.5 gearing in my beater Boxster has a good push (gearing). It is not as impressive as the Sprintex in my R53 Mini (torque vs weight). All of them lack in comparison to my friend's 91' ZR-1 (weight/torque/gearing/traction) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This is a conversation I've had with friends/customers/industry associates time and time again. You can build a car to do anything if you have enough money/time but there will always be a compromise somewhere in the build. The question I always end the conversation with is, "Do you want to spend the time/money on building a car that will do what you ask or would you rather just invest that money in a car that already does and spend the time driving it?" |
