mk1 tt, Yay or Nay?

[CGDoig]

So I've been thinking about a project lately, some of you may have seen my other post. I want a car that is not practical, and one that can be built. Keeping in mind I already have a 4 door vehicle, I've been leaning towards a 2 door. Mainly been looking at tt's. With rods, a Turbo, injectors, moar air, and a tune 350awhp is in reach pretty easily. Now my question is. Yay or Nay?

That monster tt was so nice, I went that year to check out the scene too. Who owns or owned that?

Chris from Das AutoHaus in reddeer owns (owned) the green one and I believe his dad owns the yellow one. He recently sold the green one to buy his Lotus. I wouldn't mind a TT one day but I am holding out for a TDI Toerag instead.

One I'm going to say about the idea is that the car isn't built to be all that fast, and even if you put down 350whp with a big turbo, it won't be objectively that fast of a ride compared to investing the same amount of money into other cars.

Also think that if you want the car to look modern, the Mk1 TT is getting a bit dated and so you will need to spend a fair amount of money on the body. If you look at the Das Autohaus TT's they have had to do a lot of body work, body kits, custom paint, new head/tail lights, shaving, etc to make the cars look really good.

Dare I say S2000?

This would not be my vote for a practical build.

1- it has 4 doors
2- it weighs 4k lbs
3- 2.7t motor is pricey to build
4- standard stage 3 is getting boring
5- I have one, if I hadn't already started building it, I wouldn't be building it

Anything wrong with an motor swap build, something like an LS into a P-car 914

I know, I just needed to point out that it could get expensive and impractical in a hurry........Ask me how I know, or ask GGG
