Joe Strasser<\/a> and his VW Golf Mk2 traveled to Germany for the L8Night event. DragMediaUK<\/a> reports Joe’s primary VR6 motor suffered damaged and needed to be rebuilt by HST Tuning<\/a>. So Joe borrowed another built 3.0 L VR6 motor for the L8Night event. The spare motor uses a R32 block, 2.8 L crankshaft, ZRP steel rods, JE forged pistons, R32 head, and Fueltech FT600 ECU. The VR6 motor is paired with a Kotouc 0A6 seven-speed sequential transmission and 4Motion AWD drivetrain sending power to four Hoosier slicks. While there he went 8.64 sec at 174 mph (280 km\/h).<\/p>\n
