I wonder how a Turbo would do against this 914?

from the 914club.com BBS:
This 914 belongs to my good friend Brian. I have watched this car progress over the years and it is truely amazing. It is built with NASCAR like quality, everthing is neat, well designed & well built.
Forget the BS of V8 cars not handling well, this car acelerates and handles better than most of the car you see at the track. I have watched this car eat Ferraris, Vettes and Vipers at the tracks as well as some hi caliber Porsches.
The rear of the hood was raised to allow better air flow after the front monted oil coller was added. There is a large aluminum radiator (Griffith?) in the front that has alway kept the beast cool.
He probably has $60K + in the car not including his labor. It really is a very cool ride.

A little bit too much. I'll say 36,500 But I would also like to see how much everything on the car cost.

Hard to beat 500hp in a 2000 lb car with the engine in the correct place for road racing.... The only short coming is with that much power and stick, no matter how hard you try, it's close to impossible to stop the rear arms from flexing. I did some of the developement on Jeff Hays Silver 914-6 that was featured in Excellence about a year and half ago and that car was not only extremely fast but about the easiest car you could imagine to drive. Jeffs car was about 2100 lbs and had a 380 hp 3.8 in it. That V8 is lighter with 120 hp more!!!
