Re: How about a VW powered go fast?
It's the most profitable car co. to date. They also own Audi, Porsche, Lamborgini, Bently and 1 or 2 more.
I think it would be cool to marinize them. A Lambgini V10 :D They are much lighter in weight, size wise I could have put 3 of those vs the 2 - 480/925 Yanmars in my 4300 Nortech. The only problem is it needs to make a little more power and torque, around 400/650-700 to make it worth going to trips vs twins in these larger boat applications. Then you could go to ASD-7's with bravo props vs the ASD-8's and Big expensive props. Time will Tell. Dont forget Raylar, he's working on a diesel something, what, I dont know, just what I hear.

Jeff I found out that they can build a Carrrera S for 50 grand and they sell it for $105 with a couple options. Look at the car closely...I can't see the money can you? The new Mercedes Benz S-550 with 400 HP goes for 86k loaded...I can easilly see the money there. |
