This VW Cabriolet "Chick Car" could Smoke You- One Take

Опубликовано 11 марта 2019, 14:30

This. Car. is. Great. Crack all jokes, but this car will haunt your canyon dreams. It takes every bias about convertibles, FWD, suspension setup, and "chick cars", and flips them on their head. It's angry and loud, and you won't believe the skid-pad number. MOD LIST BELOW

When you think of a performance car, you do not think of the VW Cabriolet (AKA the Golf Cabriolet in Europe, or the Rabbit Convertible in the US, until 1985). You don't. It's like someone asking what your favorite tropical vacation was and you say, "Minnesota". In stock form, this 2,150lb 1988 Cabby poured 90 gentle horsepower through a close ratio 5-speed transmission. It was golf for sun-lovers. But this car, owned by auto journalist, Jason Cammisa, is far from slow. With a bunch of Scirocco parts, it's been transformed into something amazing.
