So I am doing a Suby conversion for my teener and I am still trying to figure out how much power to shoot for.
The car is basically going to be a barely streetable track car. I am not building it for comfort but performance and if I can make it a little comfortable in the process I will. Here's a bit of what I am planning: -Sheridan standard kit with 10" wheels under the rear for plenty of traction -All the suspension and brake mods necessary for a high hp racer -Roll cage I think you all get the point. Basically I can get 300hp for around $3500 or 450hp for around $6000+ (at the crank) Is the car even drivable with 450hp?(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) I have experience with high hp cars so I can handle it, but i have never driven a high hp teener and don't really know what to expect. What do you guys think? What are your experiences? |

After riding with Scott of Renegade Hybrids in his 500hp 914 "The Peel", I would say that 450 is not too much... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
I think that Scott's car fit that description, there are still photos at www.renegadehybrids.com under cars for sale even though they sold it. I posted a small video of the Peel in action at one of the Mullholland runs a while back. You should be able to find the video link using the search function. Eric |
