Alright, here's the scoop Omar. I was mistaken before. I'm gonna try to head to his house this weekend and take some pics. This isn't the kind of car you let the kids drive or anything like that. It weighs 750 lbs. It's a 2355VW 235HP and with a turbo is expected to make mid 300's. Has 8'' travel all around with the sway-a-way? style torsion front end. He said with some remounting/welding you could put it up around 12" travel relatively easily. $14k with the enclosed trailer. The trailer alone ran around $10 when he bought it. This thing is pretty mean, powerband starts around 1800 and starts dying off around 5500.

That's 3 pounds per horsepower in it's current configuration.

Sounds like a lightweight short travel drag buggy, got any pics? Sounds very fast as well..... it even sounds a little too familiar  ;)

haha. PW it belongs to an old guy named Steve. He used to be a part of a sand drag team in the 70's he also did the catalina ski race for a few years in a 16' Rogers at 90 MPH. I'll try to get a hold of pictures. They were using 150' ropes and the skier was somewhere in the middle of the roost.
