Fastest Suby conversions, or any type for that matter are those that are driven and off jack stands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A while back a member (wbergtho) posted about his drag strip times in his LS1/930 transaxle 914. He ran a 11.04 at 129mph. His 60 ft times were almost 2 seconds which is super slow. He had to be really flying on the big end. Back maybe 10 years ago somebody from new england posted some videos of his sbc/901 914 at the drags running mid 12seconds. This was with a pretty mild 350 engine. Bob Kind of like how F1 cars can't launch like a Super Stock or even a well tuned street car- we don't have the chassis set up for it. The 914 is designed for something else so with all that power you have to apply it judiciously or you're going to either go up in smoke or twist your chassis into a pretzel... I'd rather just drive it and enjoy its purpose built qualities! |

And you do timed autocrosses, right? Those numbers are even more arbitrary. Wrong. The timed runs at an auto cross are about me and not about the car. Big difference. I use AX timing to improve my driving skills, not to measure my cars HP/torque/acceleration ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I use AX timing to improve my driving skills, not to measure my cars HP/torque/acceleration ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) So you're not at all competitive, and never compare your times with your buddies? Ever? Also seems unfortunate that since the course changes a little (or a lot) each time you can't use your times to evaluate changes made to your car, like to find out if adding a couple of hundred horses makes your car quicker... or slower, and by how much. I was pretty curious about that with my car, anyway. At the end of the day it doesn't really make any difference either way. I'm curious about what seems to be an aversion to drag racing, just like i'm curious about the aversion to putting non-Porsche engines into these cars. Are those typical "Porsche" things, or something else, and why? When I was younger there was a gulf between hot rodders and sports car people, and I never really understood why. Is this that? I'm just curious, not really important in the big picture. |

Right now, I am more concerned with how quickly I can go from 105F to a comfortable 70F! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I'm competitive but since i don't have any "buddies" that would be a NO on the time comparing front. Sure, i'll try to beat other drivers times at an AX, but the improvement comes from the driver, not the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
