But he doesn't mention replacing the engine and it's not a quattro - it's a
Coupe GT. Even if he had a chipped 20V turbo installed he still says the
car weighs 3500lbs - it's as much as the V8! He claims 175hp, but even
300hp from a chipped 20V is not enough to rocket a 3500lbs car from 0 to 60
in less than 5 seconds.
