I would really like to know what you have for 914 in the way of a hi mpg, respectable performance package.

I figure the 914 should be able to kick out 40+ mpg and get a 0 - 60 time in under 7 seconds.

The new tdi jetta coming available in July will go 0 - 60 in 6.9 seconds and get 41 mpg in the city and 53 on the highway. However id does weigh 3300 pounds. I figure the 914 should be able to smoke that with the 1300 pound weight advantage.

I am really looking forward to seeing what you have come up with Jake.

trying not to hi jack the emissions thread but keep it on 914 world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

BTW you said you need 10 or 12 additional people. I would be # 2 ... I would gladly buy a super efficient 914 engine as opposed to buying a tdi jetta. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
