How about a Mk2 Golf that can outrun a Bugatti Veyron?

I love lunatic sleeper tuning jobs, this Mk2 Golf may just be the best yet.

Boba Motoring starts with a 1989 Mk2 Volkswagen Golf and a 1.8L 1Z diesel engine running on E85 fuel. With reenforced internals they spin it up to 9500rpm, force fed with a Garrett GTX4202R turbo charger good for 900 horsepower. Thats all fed to the unexpecting road through a 4Motion four-wheel-drive system and stock 6-speed manual. This lunacy equates to 2.7 seconds to 62 miles/hour (100km/hr) and 9.3 second quarter mile sprint.

Yep, faster than a Veyron. Here’s a video of yet more runs, and a video from inside the car. This was way too good for a little link.
