auxilary Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 yesterday the civic club i'm an admin for had a small gathering (about 20 or so people) in san jose. of course, not limited to civics since I usually bring the Z there, or my daily driver neon. A new guy decided to drop by, and man...talk about a surprise car. It's a yellow VW golf vr6, slightly lowered, and with interior stripped out in the rear, an autopower rollcage, strut bars visible. The custom plates read M3 KILR. Nothing much to look at, right? Except that slightly visible intercooler up front. Turns out he has a T60 turbo on that 2.8L v6 stroked to 3 liters. He ran 12.6 on street tires, with a 3 second 0-60 foot time (can you say lack of traction?). he dynoed 360hp/385tq @10psi boost and 91 octane, and 565hp @ 17psi on 100 octane race gas! Talk about nuts! and this is also his daily driver! Suspension's also done w/ coilovers, 550lb/in springs front, 800lb/in springs in rear. He usually runs thunderhill and buttonwillow racetracks, also a very down to earth and technical guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
