After chasing Keith's V8 911 around the track, all I can say is he did have it dialed in right. At CMP, he was turning 1:48's to my 1:53's In some ways, it is sad that he sold the 911 before the mods were completed to the 914-6 3.2. The mid engine track car has been heavily modified just so that it could keep up with his bow tie machine. (picture of 914 as it came out of the paint shop in Dec 2005)



Currently, his bow tie 928 is a little faster in the straights than 'the 82 3.6 SC seen in the background of the picture above. The SC makes up the difference in late braking, lighter weight, and cornering. Either the SC or the 914 could be modified so that they could turn 1:48s at CMP, but a bunch more checks would have to be written
