German engineering poll

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I'm thinking you guys would be alot happier if you could score a carb setup
off a '76 Scirocco. Didn't have all that ugly CIS FI crap in the way and
damn good air filter access.
Course the power and drivability sucked in comparison, but what's that
compared to a few skinned knuckles.
BTW did you guys see the turbo'd Rabbit on Vortex? Small T3 turbo, no
intercooler, HOLLEY 4 BBL CARB, log intake and exhaust
manifolds.......350HP!!!!!! Another Vortex miracle!
Carbs rule! No more effed up air boxes for the Scirocco gang!
Dan
Just being a dick and remembering my '76.
