Oh I would not be surprised at all, there are some very fast imports. My supercharged vr6 jetta, turbo 16v gti, and golf R all had roughly 350hp and were quick as ****. The difference is this car is way louder and way more cool! I'm really amazed how great this build has turned out.
I think to shift at 5-6k I would have to manually shift it. I havent really played with shifting it manually yet and didn't plan on it. I saw some guys accidently shift into neutral when doing the 2-3 shift. The quicksilver shifter would help with that :rolleyes: "now I'm thinking..." :D
I've been making comments to my wife that we will need another car soon. I love the idea of a convertible with a convertible I wouldn't even car if it was the fastest car either because it just seems like the ultimate cruiser car. My wife made the comment about me building an international scout. She has been making comments about me building a scout for a long time. Her dad had one when he was younger and even used scout as her brothers middle name. For some reason a scout is just a car my wife always comments about having.
