a) it's ugly
b) why only 202mph if it has a power to weight ratio of around 2kg/hp? (estimate)
Sorry, but that is crap ...

I guess the body and/or gearing hurts top speed...

You don't need to open the back. It will never run enough miles to make it to first service.
I will be in VW HQ next week, will check it out and report back.

yes please do.
on a lighter note, a mid engined project has been on my mind for some time too, a friend still has an allmost brand new lotus esprit turbo (around 300HP) and gearbox laying somwhere in a barn
Now all i need is some extra space and a nice body for that

a 914/6 chassis number is becoming very expensive, you don't mess around with them.
