It would have to be one hell of a PT car. A GT3 is a good ride! Great video thanks!

Porsche 996...185,000.00 US dollars

Aston Martin Vanquish....400,000.00 US dollars

Helmet, Gloves, Driving Costume, day at the Ring...1200.00 US

The look on their faces when they get nuked by a black VW Microbus...

If thats the same bus I've seen video of, it went 160 MPH on a German side road, it flies, low as hell as you can see, I think it has a 911 engine or bigger,

Any of you F1 fans recognize that track, and specifically the famous turn?

That bus is pretty darned cool, it takes our hobby (making an older, ill handling car perform pretty well, but at the same time in general, looking pretty mean and sporty) to the next sick level (taking something that flat out should be at the bottom of the list of vehicles to alter, turning into a true performance vehicle, while still looking absurd, resulting in the priviledge of waving with a sly look on your face to the guys who you just spanked with the high buck cars).

I'd still take the Aston, in a second. Sorry.

Not sure if it's the same bus, but go to www.germanlook.com and look in the "gallery" section. find various multimedia section. that bus is outfitted with a 930's engine and drivetrain. It's insanely quick.

Thats friggen sic, to think a brick can go like that. That thing is cool it makes me want to get my Camaro done so I can start on my PT 58 Rambler wagon.
