just what I always wanted. a vintage looking circa 1990's honda civic made by the germans for a mere 32K.

with the swept back antenna, it looks like it should be powered like a street car (or trolley for you guys out west....

They did a review of this in a recent C&D and it sounds nice. I like VW's (I had a 16V Scirocco years ago and my current car (other than my s2000) is a V6 Passat 6 spd), but I don't know if I'd spend $30k on a Golf.

No threat that I can see of, weighs more then a track model Z33 with less HP then the Stook and a hell of a lot less LBS then the Z. Can't imagine it would be that quick from a launch, would be crushed from a roll/high MPH race, and I don't think it would compete with either car in the "twisties". Great looking ride though, I really like the Golfs and HP/TQ is decent enough for fun. Too bad they are unreliable POS.

You mean a bumper car?
