>Hey, yeah, I think this is the one I was talking about a month ago!  What a
bad ass car!  It's in the April 91 VW & Porsche.  It's an 86 8V Scirocco
with a Ralph Wagner body kit with 225/50/15 in front and 285/40/15 in back
that was tuned by a company called AUTOMODES (Bishay Motors) of Walpole, MA.
It has the Eurostyle headlights and 'park lights' with driving lights molded
in with the body kit.  It had a 2.0 liter Oettinger kit with a Schrick 280.
160 hp and 0-60 8.1 sec!

Not too impressive. My 82' with around 115 hp does 0-60 in 7.839 seconds. It
must be the weight of the bodykit killing all that extra hp!
