I reckon this would be a good project to get a Mk1 GTI, with a 16v lump, and rips the guts out of the car.
At the end of the day weight plays a large part on the track.
There was an interesting post from someone six months ago about making carbon fibre body panels. I would love to know what sort of weight you could save on the wings, bonnet, tailgate, and whether you could replace the roof and side panels easily.
Any ideas VR6?
