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 |

Sorry I was reading and decided to toss in my $0.02, which prolely should mostly be ignored since I know jack about going fast.
Drag sounds like it'll be an issue. I remember hearing that the saleen s7 achievieves a lower drag coeffiecient by ducting air flow thru the car. Maybe this could be done with a 914. Lets face it, the front end on a 914 is relatively flat... Maybe cutting holes in the front end and ducting airflow out the sides and rear would be a good option. These air channels could also be used to cool the engine... And maybe one large radiator is not the way to go, but maybe split the cooling system with dual radiators... similar to the ones www.naerc.com offers for their diablo replicas. |
