An old guy I work worth has a near 250HP VW for sale... Has a couple Glamis trips on it. FAST son-of-a-bitch. He built it to withstand the rigorous life of a turbo-charged engine, but at the last minute put it up at 9.5:1 and is happy with that. If you want more info, he's looking to sell, his wife has cancer and he's at the retirement age. I'd be more than happy to spend a few minutes with him to get some motor info/price. I'm pretty sure he wants to sell the entire buggy. VERY WELL BUILT.
