Performance VW had an article on a MK1/Rabbit, with a twin T03 VR6 RWD conversion. it was about 8 years ago, so pics should be around. If anyone has them, put em up. They had a sick pic of the car with the front tires, full size, not drags, about 4" off the track, on the way to an 8 sec 1/4. Completely insane. But I'd drive it. BTW if anyone has any copies of Performance VW kicking around, PM me.

Yeah that would be sick. Id buy an Mk2 GTi if they were 4 or rear wheel drive. Same with corrados. After going from a front wheel drive to 4 wheel id never go back I don't care how much power u lose to the wheels cuz of 4wd.

The first 3 pics are a MK2 Golf Rallye. Flared fenders, Corrado lights, etc. The last 2 are a very nasty looking Golf Synchro 4 door. I know there are a few Rallye's in North America, I've seen them at shows. If you ever go to the VW show at their headquarters in Auburn Hills, there will be at least one Rallye there.

True. I always thought those were ppl ripping off the E30 M3 widebody lol. Didn't know that was stock. Pretty nice. Tho I like the 4 circle lights in the front instead of the corrado ones. But still its a nice car.
