The car, a Mk4 R32 twin turbo, has been retrofitted with DSG and launch control.
Due to torque limitations with the current clutch packs, we are restricted to 19psi... it's still good for close to 600bhp though.



Heres a video of the car in the Texas Mile from inside...

We also went offsite for a quick 1/4 mile pass with the VBox...

 

As a former MKIV R32 owner (2x), I still have a fondness for the car and marvel at the potential it has. Yours is unreal. Thanks for the e-ride!

 

Thank you! I appreciate the complement. The car has been in a constant state of upgrade from the earliest days of ownership. It's taken 6 years to get to this level and it's been an absolute blast along the way.

We received mention in the January edition of Automobile. To capture the attention of the journalists must mean something right?

Lifted from the article...

"Worse, Sherman's deafening Lingenfelter tuned ZR1 is barely audible at full tilt over the thrum of idling cars on the grid. Even cars that look innocuous are insane: a Cadillac DTS almost shatters my sunglasses... A Volkswagen R32, normally one of the sweetest sounding cars in the World, belches a turbocharged acoustic fury not unlike that of a garbage disposal grinding up nitroglycerin tablets."

Now, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I'll take what I can get.

While I built the car for me, its sometimes nice to be noticed, especially amongst your peers.

 

Nice to see you on here Skela

 

Nice ! Sounds like you're having a good time modding. Keep it up!
