| definitely, considering it doesn't need much, one of the first things is to find a new engine(bigger) engine, current engine is the original, and has 122k miles.. Shifting into gear is also tight..... but runs good otherwise |

If you have a thick wallet, talk to Jake Raby about one of his killer Type 4 engines.
Or a LS1 like this one on Raby's dyno.

I was there, the car is a beast.

| Great looking car! I know that you have stated that the rear wing will go. Thank the Lord! Whoever mounted that thing had no idea about function before form. |
