Ground Effects 914

I have a full ground effects 914-6 built on a chrome-moly tube frame chassis.Chassis was built in the 90,s in Texas with a stock floopan to make it appear like a 914.Ground effects were set up by an engineer.It made 1100 lbs.of downforce at 100 mph.It was brand new with 1.25 inches of ground clearance.Full side skirts and slick tunnels under the drivetrain.I put a tie wrap on the shocks and went testing until the tie wrap moved 1 inch. I changed springs 6 times until I got it right.1100 lb.rears and 950 lb. for the front.It hit bottom at around 100 until I got the springs right.It was a trip to drive but became tenuous if you bumped a curb and lost some air.VERY quick to 100 then slow to accelerate because of the drag.Scott Townsend knows this car.I will get a picture of the car and rear diffusor.The big rear wing was designed for the air to pass underneath it.Motor was 2.8 on 3.0 turbo case.Ti everything.45mm slidevalves,Motec.373 hp at 9300 rpm but it needed that Rawknees Turbo Powaaa.Fred
