If you deal with those things, many of the other race mods are very similar.
I just have not seen that to be true. There is a heavily modified 914 out here in northern California and one from central California that is even more modified and they have never been all that competitive with similarly developed 911 cars like mine.

If the 914 had an advantage, I would expect to see more of them in the GT ranks. After all, they were cheaper to buy than 911s......
