Waterwagens Adventure

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I believe this car is owned by Kelly (HybridVW on Vortex).
He's helped Kirsten some on Shocky. He made the headliner for instance.
Anyway, from what I've heard the engine was a stock 20V, but had a GT25R turbo, header type exhaust manifold, I think DTA engine management, but I'm not sure on that, and an 02M 6 speed tranny!!!!!!
280 something torque and 277 Hp IIRC!
Sounds pretty impressive to me!
>From the chatter on Vortex he thought he'd dropped a valve. Expensive little buggers!
