Yeah sleeper alright, you'll fall asleep in it. Silly choice considering there are VW and Audi engines that swap in easily and can be boosted silly.

>>16465505
SHO isn't a sleeper anymore.

It's well known and slow as fuck these days.

scuzi?

>>16465491
I enjoy it. There is a few boosted to heaven and hell wankels running around here, although the sound and massive tailpipe is a dead giveaway though.

>>16465499
That V8 is probably so heavy on the front axle of that tiny tin can shitbox that it has probably better traction than a miata.

>>16465513
>SHO isn't a sleeper anymore.
The 4th gen Taurus SHO, maybe not (because badging)

But the also 4th gen Taurus SHO Lincoln MKS (EcoBoost) - A little more subtle.

But then again, my favorite sleeper was an E39 5 series wagon with a force fed S62 swap.

a company sells (or at least used to) bolt in kits for this swap. i think it was 10k$ for the whole package. the V8 focus was discovered by a former Ford engineer who realized the mounting brackets on the Focus and the Mustang were identical.

I love sleepers, they are the polar opposite of riced out meme shit I tend to see around my college.

I hate it when people try and make their slow shitbox look and sound fast when it isn't. I've seen so many riced out base model civics, and rebadged 320i's with fake M logos and fake carbon fiber mirrors and roofs.

VW's syncro system was first used on the 1980's VW Vanagon camper vans, which were RWD without it. It's just a mechanical AWD system.

VW holds a special place in my cold cold heart. I grew up going to air cooled VW shows and watching Herbie, so VW's are nostalgic for me. One of my favorite childhood memories is a family friend giving me a ride in a 1971 Beetle when I was 7

I admit this. But it still remains the only modern water-cooled VW I would buy is a 1998-2011 New Beetle or a 2012+ Beetle for pure nostalgia but in a more livable modern package.

all hope is lost on you. heil hitler or whatever your type says

>>16466348
you are confusing production with whats for sale

>>16466365
Which is why I said a few ticks more. No way 18% of all manuals are stashed away. As a bimmerfag, I understand the margins, but 20% is absurd. I'm sure GM has actual production numbers available.

For instance, one of my cars was a limited run of 500 manuals for one model year, and my other was only offered as a manual.

>>16466363
>all hope is lost on you.
To be honest. I'd love 2 beetles. An old 63 Herbie replica with a Subaru Turbo EJ20 powering it, and a 2012+ Beetle Turbo converted to AWD from the Golf R.

VW Vortex actually made the latter one a reality with their VW Super Beetle concept car. Aside from welding in the trunk pan, a custom length prop shaft to the back and using the front sub-frame from an Audi TT RS, it was a bolt in affair.

>>16466383
Well, I don't mean you may be delusional, as you agree, but at least you are a Bugfag, and not a VW sackrider. That I can respect, tho I don't understand it. I mean not my thing but at least you aren't buying a GTI and putting a K04 on it.

Partly, Porsche is pretty much responsible for Audi's sleeper wagon history. They helped tune the RS2's engine on the condition that Audi would not make a sedan or coupe version.

Then they gave the platform to the Aussies and the first thing they did was drop an LS into it.

At the time it was fucking monster

Your more then welcome to import one but i dont think seppos can because of the fuel tank placement? Oh well the boot is small as fuck anyway so idk fuel cell it

Lots of young fellas get the older 5.0l (aussie v8) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_V8_engine or LS1 and hoon the fuck out of them

We never got the LT1 or anything like that just the LS and derivatives
