I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but I have to get rid of the G/P GTP and need a replacement. I want something a little smaller (so people wouldn't always assume I could drive them all over creation), but I still want something with power and a stick. After looking over some options I found this:
This is a VW Beetle (duh) Turbo S. It has the 2 tone interior, 6-speed manual, performance suspension and the 1.8T (180 hp Audi TT) engine. It's not new, but it will work. Of course, I can't leave stock alone, so I would upgrade the turbo to a T3, install a larger intercooler, intake, front lowering springs, look into getting bigger brakes and definitely a tune. After doing these mods, it should be around 215 to 225 hp.
Along with taking off the hood badge, black chroming the "VW" and "Turbo S" emblems, adding a spoiler and getting some side and front fascia dress up parts like on...:
...I think it might look kind of cool. Modding the dash to add a few gauges (Boost, Trans Temp, Oil Pressure or...whatever...) and a couple minor things here and there too.
I was wondering what you guy's (and gals) may think. eember, this would be my daily driver and not some sort of show car. The money I get from the pats from the trans eating GTP will be going into......
...which is a heck of a lot cooler than the GTP would ever be (IMO)
