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

A 3.2 is a great engine in a 914 or 911 because it does everything well. Power, sound, tractability, durability and it will start on old gas after sitting all winter. If you are careful about weight reduction, you can drop 150-200lbs from your car and really minimize the added engine weight.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Dec 28 2019, 09:07 AM)  A 3.2 is a great engine in a 914 or 911 because it does everything well.

If you are careful about weight reduction, you can drop 150-200lbs from your car and really minimize the added engine weight. Well said,I have dumped all I can out of my car,don't know what the weight was but it all helps. Even with a 2.2 I can loose traction in first under hard throttle,I have never driven a 4cyl car but would assume the stock gearbox is better matched to that engine rather than a six cyl ? the 2 motors have rather differant power delivery,never timed mine but my son said it was "quick" and he drives a fast car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . |
