     Make sure you reinforce your front motor mount if you do what you plan 
     with the G60.  A friend did a similar conversion and it ripped the 
     front mount out, taking the raditor and the hood with it. $$$.

For those of you who can't keep up, who are wondering what is to come of the 
beautiful scirocco I posted for sale last week:

My thought process, Mike et al.:
     
1.  Damn.  I'm almost at 170hp and I'm damn near the peak of my potential. 
What the hell.!?!?!?  Corrado's have 158 stock, and 1 little kit gets them 
217hp.  That's not fair......I want one.
     
2.  I'm gonna sell my car and buy a Corrado.
     
3.  I want $10k for it.  The car, stock w/ 57k miles has gotta be worth 
$4-$5k.  On top of that, I have @$9,000 in MODIFICATIONS alone.  
     
4.  Although it's an incredibly fair price, there are probably only 4 people 
in the world who would pay that kinda cash for a scirocco.  Let's see if one 
of them catches my post.
     
5.  Nope.
     
6.  Well, how 'bout a TRADE for a Corrado, to eliminate one step in the 
process...Post a trade offer for a C on the C list.
     
7.  Receive 10 serious offers for trades.  I want either a 
black/yellow/white/green one.  Eliminate Reds and Blues.  Down to 4. 
Eliminate those over 100k miles, Down to 0.  Scratch that.  
     
8.  What was the initial problem?  Ahh yes.  I wanted the hp of a G60.  What 
now...?
     
9.  Put a G60 w/ Stage III hp kit and Velocity Stage II mini-slip upgrade 
(for traction) into my kickass scirocco.  Date set:  July '97 Judgement day.
     
Hoo-ahh!!
