There were a bunch of videos where he states stock IS20 turbo and is smoking cars like a GTR. I don't care how much weight reduction you have, the IS20 doesn't have the stamina to smoke big hp cars (500+) like that.

a 350whp 400+wtq gutted mk7 GTI will beat a early model R35 from a roll. This is nothing new

700 hp in FWD? I wonder at what speed will it actually start to behave. Maybe once you hit 90 mph you can relax a bit on the steering wheel.

You would be surprised what a lighten vehicle can do. Wolf reduced the weight so much as to be driving without a hood, no interior, etc. When you drop the weight of these cars the Power to weight ratio will be better than a lot of the top end cars.

Look on youtube for mk1 or mk2 volkswagens with 1.8Ts dropped into them. On the highway they murder 100k cars.

Last I heard is he was swapping a K20Z Turbo engine on it. He was having issues deciding between a Powerglide transmission and a 10R80.
