Hello, Kevin "Coolrydes" Zagar here.

I've been racing with the P.C.A (Porsche club of America) for 15+ years and have been an instructor with them for 13+ years teaching other how to drive faster. Judgie has a point, however he does not understand how much a true chassis can help even the beginner.
When I started building our Subaru 6 cylinder powered Meyers Manxters for Mendeola with over 300hp I quickly found that a standard VW chassis no matter how many performance trick we did to it would simply not do. The cars were fast and even with my abaility to drive fast cars we could not get them to turn. They understeered like crazy. Understeer is when you turn the steering and the car still wants to go straight. We originaly developed our chassis for these cars, but after driving the first car and feeling the true performance and reide quality I knew one thing. These had to be made availible for any type one based vehicle. I've been into Germann cars for years and have owned over 70 VWs in the last 20 years.

If you guys would like to ask questions or would to just like to understand more about suspension feel free to post up in here, email, or call me.

untill then keep VWs alive .
