Hmmmm?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
It has been announced that the Cayenne will have a 3.2 liter V6 which is based on the Audi A3 and Golf R32 motor, but with more hp than the other two engines. 247hp instead of 217hp Installing one of these into a 914 should be pretty easy due to the compactness of the motor (15° V6), so, what are the odds that one would be able to participate in PCA autocross and time trial with such a motor??? (some regions say the car must have a Porsche motor and engine) Now I think they also say that if it is a motor swap it should still have the "spirit" or somewhat the same configuation as the original car--(no mid engine 911 conversions????) Notice I say participate and not compete, since I'm guessing that if allowed, you't be put in a class with mega-dollar motors and cubic dollars. (M, K or Z ???) I think it should be allowed since air-cooled motors all the way up to 3.8 liters are routinly run and those for sure never came from the factory that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The way I look at it, the /4 are based on VW engines, so why not a Cayenne V6??? Same basic idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So, now all we need to do is wait for these motors to start showing up at the wreckers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

"PCA will allow you to run anything you want.. you just get thrown into some catch
all class." I was at a GGR time trial last year at Laguna Seca, I asked some guy with the rules committee(?) if I could run my 914 with the Audi/VW 1.8t motor. He walked me over to some other guy that had the rule book. The book said, "Engine: must be Porsche". I asked, even in an Exhibition class? Turn to Exhibition class rules, Engine: must be Porsche.
