Volkswagen Rabbit GTI: Winner then, still a winner today? | Articles

Jesse Ransom

Remember, this was when you didn’t need a GT3 Porsche for a local track day.

Where have we gone wrong?

Anyhow, I’ve had three A1s, though only one proper GTI. I recall them all more fondly than my one Miata, though it’s possible I should’ve given said Miata more of a chance (and some new shocks).

In reply to Jesse Ransom :

I have a 4k 020 with maybe 25k miles post Stu-Brumer rebuild, if you want to take one of the others closer to a GTI.

I still think a track day with a 200-horsepower cap would be cool. 

JG and I should tell the story behind the photo, too.

More rabbit action please!  I’m just getting the final bits done to mine for Autox season!  Call it motivation.

Yes!  The FR-S would be a track bully on that day.
