hello,
Been thinking about a new project. Has anyone driven a 914 over 200 mph? Enough horsepower can be obtained with a V8. Might need turbos to keep the motor reasonable. Aside from the required safety mods. any input on areo tricks would be helpful. I know a stock body tends to get very light at high speed. My stock bodied V8 conversion starts getting real skittish around 145. Can this be done or am I nuts? Thanks David |

Wasn't there an IMSA 914 with twin turbo power and snorkle type intakes that got close to 200 at the old Riverside raceway? It was converted back to it's real GT selt during a restoration I remember reading?
