a buddy of mine has an 85 rabbit. He gutted it and rebuilt the engine. And let me tell you its sick, he has 4 grand just in the fuel management system. Laptop controlled. Each cylinder has indipendant management. He has issues. Blast to ride in though. He wont let me drive it just yet. I can say that it beats his 1100 GSXR in the 1/4.

Are you serious? I don't believe that! GSXR's put out like 150hp and it weighs like 380 something.

Looks good, I don't see any rust...I did see your Red "touch up" paint though! Have a good one!

hey kurt. I saw it with my own eyes
Not asking you to believe me. But is it too hard for your narrow mind to concieve that a gutted rabbit with 16,000 dropped into the motor and nitro to boot, could possibly beat a gsxr in the 1/4.

hell Frank B's N/A 83 944 does the 1/4 in 4.0 seconds.

LOL
