My cousin has a GLH that has been sitting in his driveway for years.  He doesn't have time to restore it and puts his $ in to his house for now.  He says random people knock on his door asking if it is for sale.
1991 Jetta GL ECOdiesel

I want one of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_GLHS

" It also was significantly faster In the quarter mile than the Chevrolet Camaro with the 305 V8, Pontiac's Firebird/Trans Am with the 305 V8 and pre-1987 302 V8 Mustangs, and equal or slightly faster than the 1987–1993 V8 Ford Mustangs and Corvettes."

saying it was faster than 305/302 cars is NOT saying much..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

the 4 cyl car weighed less than half the camaro or stang tho.. and had about the same power.. so its REALLY NOT SAYING MUCH..

thats like saying that my 400hp VRT powered mk1 will smoke your stock honda.. OF COURSE IT WILL! theres no denying that..

wonder if it would keep up with the IROC camaro? they were ALOT hotter than the TBI 305 cars..
