That VW had major mods and was far, far, far from stock. The LS1 was obviously not modded because an LS1 with major modifications would need wheelie bars to keep from standing up. I wonder how much it cost that guy to mod that VW to keep up...and that TransAm was probably about $17,000. Sad, sad. LoL.

That GTI had 400 HP in it... but I don't know what was done to it. No list was given, just the video. Obviously a bigger turbo, but beyond that, I don't know.
