If you are asking if a properly built VW can bust a Porsche or Supra in the ass. The answer is yes. The reason why I'm swapping a R32 motor into my GTI is for this reason. Once boosted with 10-12lbs it will be putting down 500+hp and it will walk away from almost anything. The Mk 1 Rabbit is very light and if it has a 1.8T with upgraded KO4's or a boosted VR6, that car is going to kick ass. Paul at HB boosted a MK3 VR6 and it is ruling the road right now. He is boosting at 16lbs for about 400hp in a 3300lb car or 8.25lbs/hp. The RS6 is 450hp and weighs 4500lbs or 10lbs/hp. Yes the RS6 would lose. I will be putting down 500hp at 3500lbs or 7lbs/hp. Watch out for a built VW. You may get embarrassed.
From the video he has a boosted 1.8/2.0 16v

No problem. Golfs are light and doesn't need that much horsepowers to get highway killers.
Thread moved. :)

totally for real, my golf would eatup both of those cars on the highway w/no problems.. the hardest part is getting a supra and 993 to play with you when your in a VW. Like this guy, Ive had to bust up a few races just to get some attention.
*edit* I am less than 5.45lbs per hp and could do even better, but whats the point? Already "faster" than a C6 Z06 or a 911 GT2, but only on the highway and its rarely useful or necessary. All that matters is it puts a smile on my face... while scaring the fuck out of nearly everyone who's ridden in it.. :)

I do not have any video's of it online, well none that are the least bit recent.. I probably should now that I have a video camera.. With my first born on the way, and my resent RS6 purchase, the GolfKart is enjoying a summer in slumber, right now there's no money to fix anything when I break it.
here is something to tease you with tho.
