Grassroots Motorsports Project 914

We took our Project 914 to our test track in Ocala yesterday for some final tweaking and testing. We are happy to report that the car ran perfectly on its 150 mile drive to and from the track, ran lap times within 3/10ths of a second of our 1969 911E Project car (which is still basically unmodified) and is faster than both our Mustang and Miata projects (so far) on this twisty go kart track.
Our addition of the Weltmeister anti-roll bar up front transformed the handling. Our testing was done on Yokohama ES100 street tires.
Updates are at our website and another article will be coming out soon in the magazine.
I also drove the 914 back to back with the 911, and while I love the way the 911 looks, I am not ready to trade for my 914.
