911 GT3 vs the Little White Car.

Even when you have a Porsche 911 GT3 banging through the gears playing with other cars on the freeway on-ramp, still watch out for those little sleeper white cars that go whizzing past.

this video cracks me up......

these guys were having fun as a group.

I loved seeing that. I had an orange 79 Rabbit in college and dreamed of beefing it up to hang with the big dogs. Appears I was right that it would have made a great sleeper car. To bad it was totaled.

That little GTI really moves out when the driver gets on it!
Little puff of smoke just as he pulls out to go around the GT3 and gone....
Thanks for posting this.

seeing that reminded me of a golf conversion with a 928 motor that Road and Track had featured some years ago. This is not the one, but you get the idea. Could be a motor swap helped the little white car along

Why do they call it a Z when it is obviously a VW?

We had a guy show up often with a little honda that was so light and hopped up it would run with the GT-3s. Of course it was on the narrow edge of falling apart, but man would that thing fly.

Video was shot from inside a Nissan Z.

The mk1/2/3 VW chassis are quite popular for modifying... it's another world from Porsche as most people view the marque entirely as commuter which allows for endless sleeper fun. If you're a VW geek then there are different levels of sleepers within the marque to be understood. Very easy to take a mk1 gti and bolt in a 1.8T or 2.0L 16v with turbo that without internal work goes to 400hp... with internal work goes well over 1000hp.

Go to youtube.com and search for Boba motoring... just one example.

My old '84 GTI! Not as fast as the white one, but it could hold its own back in the day.




Oh the fun I had with this bad boy in High School and College. Even had cruise control!
