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worn, etc that newer cars just have newer parts which makes them better or is the actual design of the suspension been superceded?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'm lucky( in a way) in that I get to watch several guys that do well at tha Nationals. Every once in a while, one of them will jump into the pass. seat and try to help change my misbegoten ways. Watching them run is worth the price of admission. I'm picking up some "stuff"....enuff to make me keep coming back for more ego slagging....now if I could just learn to "talk thru" a course. |
