Well unless I go with a corvair engine..lol. I'm saving up for your type 4. Just have to figure out if I should build a beat/blow up a cheapie type 1 first.

How high does 3rd on some of these VW's go? I was riding in my friends BMW 325is and he went to pass a tuck on the freeway, and (can't drop it into third without hiting rev limiter) and droped it in 4th. If I was in my jetta. I can take 3rd up to 101 (gear chart), drop it into third and pass just about anything quickly (on the track GSR's, Newer vr6 jettas, Mustang GT's, could never catch it. Never had any vets, nsx, bikes..) I like having really nice gearing. I don't know how 4 speeds do it. Drop it into 3rd, 2nd? Power/torque acessable for quick quick acceleration from 0-100mph (ha ha just a nice point to stop) and 13.8 in the quarter. Gutted car. I'd love to make a slightly faster, better accelerating car then the jetta. At least match it.
