I just was reading in Car and driver, or Motor Trend--don't recall--but
anyway, VW has created another monster, that may have possibilities---


A twin turbo W-8 that cranks out 700 and some horses---


Now after reading this--the wheels were really spinning---


Forget about the twin turbo plumbing nightmare---


But what about a naturally asperated W-8, shoe horned into the back end
of the Vananone?


The engine isn't all that long--shorter than a V-6----and has mugumbo
torque, as well as mucho gotaine----


This may be another possibility in the quest for making the Vanagon
boogie--, and be half assed reliable--


Just thinking----:>)


Later,
