Why not go really overkill with a Rabbit GTi and a 20v turbo with an
aftermarket KKK turbo and manifold with a chip, cams and exhaust and stiffer
wastegate putting it at about 20 PSI at full boost. Get close to the 400 HP
range :) or Get a beetle with a puma front end and stiffer torsions and
swaybars and 245/45/15's all the way around with wider flared fenders. Then
build a 2.3L type-1 with superflo heads and a titanium bladed turbo with
intercooler,FK-87 cam, EFI, and fiberglass shroud with a 911 fan/alternator.
Also make the gears close 1-4 with a 4.86:1 R&P. I think those would be
quite a handfull.
