TheNeedForZ Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Are the supra and porshce sandbagging or is the VW really that fast? engine swap for the VW maybe? I don't know any well known VW engine that lends itself to heavy performance mods. http://videos.streetfire.net/hottestvideos/2/AE06027E-C239-4EEE-893C-E34565CD1C6A.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.INSANE Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Possibly,Keep in Mind that VW's Tend to be very light so if you had say swapped in anything over 300 horses you have yourself one badass little machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Isn't that the Golf with two engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 yeah, that golf could be on the lighter side of 1800lbs so 300hp + would make it a rocket ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 The VW 4 banger (water cooled one), even the 8 valver, is an awesome little motor. 15 years ago I had seen 2 liter drag motors putting out 450 hp turbocharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 engine swap for the VW maybe? I don't know any well known VW engine that lends itself to heavy performance mods. Did you forget about the VR6? some people have twin turbocharged the '6 and gotten some crazy power numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexideways Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Your thinking of Dahlbach, I saw that AWD golf when it was on its US tour.... simply awesome. it was front engined though Yeah, it's the 5cyl. engin that I'v been talking about on my "did somebody say Audi" tread. It's the radiator that is in the back and the muffler is transversly mounted inside right behind the seats and you can see the road trough the tube frame. One last thing, this golf is more like 900Hp at wheels. This car is evaluated at more than $500 000 U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
