I've been noticing a lot of people mentioning that the suspension system in a 914 is no match for modern suspension system. Some even mention that a Neon's suspension is better. What are the problems with the 914's suspension that make it so uncompetitive with the newer cars? Is it that the 914's suspension in some peoples cars is so old ie old bushings, shocks, torsion bars that are worn, etc that newer cars just have newer parts which makes them better or is the actual design of the suspension been superceded? Just curious. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

I see your point JP. Well sort of. Had I been able to buy the engine I nearly had in the bag. Yup Jake's teener motor in my yellow car with My friend Hassan behind the wheel there woulda been some really concerned SM-2 ZO6 vettes at Nationals.
the car is only one part of the equation. Driver is the variable. But since I'm back to the reality of buildng my own motor I'll just have to be satisfied with whipping the local guys. Shoot who knows maybe I'll become a better driver myself through Hassan's mentoring. |
