Enough of the little horsepower pissing match, it's time for the fast cars to have their pissing match.
I'll be honest, my loyalty to the P-motor doesn't run very deep. They are WAY to expensive for the HP you get. The ONLY advantage i can see from a performance standpoint is the weight, and i'm not sure it's as big as everyone imagines (guessing less than the weight of a decent passenger). The SBC is easier to work on, builds more HP easily, lasts longer at the same HP level, and sounds better (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) (subjective i know). You do lose the front trunk, but a 914 is not a practical car to start with, so no biggy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) I understand people wanting to keep the bloodlines true and blah blah blah.. isn't that kinda like in-breeding? please discuss (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) |

Ahh ha I found the nerves (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Mr SirAndy
What brakes are on your car?
The 78 squirrel comment was aimed after a HP doesn't help if you cant drive. If you can drive, you can make a stock 914 go fast. You can make a high hp 914 go faster.
Dont think i've ever said that. But i will defend it. There's a reason for Raby to be in buisness, ALOT of other people think the cars are underpowered. Porsche (the air cooled kings) no longer makes air cooled cars, because the engineers have done better. The battery above the suspension... Not necesarily bad engineering, but not good engineering either. There is nothing wrong w/ a stock 914. It can be made WAY WAY better though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) MR. Sammy OUCH (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
So Michael schumacher (assuming he is the best driver in the world) can take a Toyota Echo and still win in F1? Why not? |
