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) |

I think you should auto x it. ..I want to time trial/race it, I don't care for autocross. I like the flow of racing on the big track. Auto-x reminds me of... Stomp on the gas as hard as you can, then stomp on the brakes as hard as you can. Repeat. Repeat. I tried it in both my 924 & the 914 I had 18-19yrs ago (before you were born andrew!) I just didn't care much for it. Of course embarrasing the Civics/Accords/Integras/Evo's/WRX's/Camaros & Vettes up & down McHenry & Briggsmore avenues would be fun too!
