Well, it finally happened.  Chris took me out for a ride in his SVX-powered
Vanagon.  All I can say is OH-MY-HOLY-SIX-CYLINDER-SEX-MACHINE, BATMAN!
There's no right for a Vanagon to have THAT MUCH raw power.  We hit over 105
mph on a very brief stretch of the interstate, and that thing had much more
left in it.  60 is yours in, oh, THAT long and passing is but a right foot
away.  That thing will pull like mad in 4th gear, and there's one more gear
left.  The sound AH-SOME!  Honestly, it will outrun my G60 Corrado up to 100
mph.  To give you an honest comparison, the SVX in fifth will surely outpull
my 1.9 in third gear, and mine is a good-running WBX.  It's full of angry,
mad, ricer a$$-kicking power.  Ricer eater it is, and then some.  The
vehicle has been totally transformed into something before unimaginable.
The sound of the engine is intoxicating.  It's like listening to myriad of
mechanical noise blended into an orchestra of power.  Yeah, it's a hamster
on steroids.  A hamster with SIX BALLS!  He-he!
