But you'd still be in a Jetta!
Dollar for dollar it's no contest. The VR6 with a turbo and a head spacer to lower the compression will make 550+ whp and run 10's. Also, straight stock the jetta runs 0-60 in the 7's. 69 GTO Judge 6.4 sec 0-60 with a 13.9 quarter. I could make the jetta a LOT faster than that for $1000 over the cost of the car.
The VR6 in the jettas were originally designed to be diesels so they are WAY over built.
You could make the jetta faster and still have 15K in the bank and waste a stock gto all day long.
