There simply nothing like the GLI / GTI MK7 steering wheel. Has it's own personality. 🏎💨 #fastandfurious @tunerevo @gli.only @vw #glisilverbullet #gli #vw #vwjetta #vwjettagli #mk7 #ea888 #ea888gen3 #volkswagen #volkswagenmk7 #volkswagenlove #volkswagenmotorsport #caranddriver #vwlove #vwperformance #vwpower #eurotuner #tunerevolution #carsandcoffee #thecarculture #motortrend #tunerevo #sportcompact #turbocharged #tracktuned #nurburgring #roadandtrack https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCsdzxu4bT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Flash Back Friday! In 1996 I took possession of my first ever import. A rehab project known as the 1986 Mercury Merkur XR4ti. Imported from Ford Europe this was the Americanized Ford Sierra XR4ti. Sierra sound familiar? It should. It's famously the detuned iteration of the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth rally car 😳. Truly ahead of it's time for America. Imagine this: a European rear wheel drive sports car with a 2.3L fuel injected 4cylinder turbocharged engine. All this in 1985. Formula sound familiar? It should. America is littered with turbocharged 4cylinders. This unique futuristic endeavor would be imported to the United States from 1985-1989. Then Ford Europe head Bob Lutz proposed the idea of bring the Sierra XR4ti to the U.S. under Lincoln-Mercury badge to compete with luxury brand BMW's 3 series and then SAAB's 900. Ford CEO at the time Pete Peterson approved. So begin the process of importing the German built coupe pronounced "mare-coor". In German "Merkur" means Mercury. Hilarious considered in America it was essentially called the Mercury Mercury...lol. Oh Ford! Instead of working to adapt the European Sierra's V-6 to American emissions Ford chose to either choose the Mustang SVO 2.3L turbo four with the intercooler removed (great idea right? Turbo with no intercooler?) or the Mustang GT's 5.0L V8. So because Ford engineers couldn't get the heavier V8 to work with the suspension the 2.3L turbo won out. In the end this gave the 3000 lbs coupe 175hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. 145hp w/ 3spd auto. With a MotorTrend tested 0-60 run of 8.3 secs, the Merkur outran both the European Sierra and the many V8's of the day. Ford had lofty goals of selling 20,000 units per year @ $16,361 ($43,998 in todays dollars). In the end the only moved 42,372 units over the 4yr run. Long live my first German-made American Euro 😂 #fastandfurious @tunerevo @ford @fordperformance @fordnewseurope #mercury #merkurxr4ti #mercurymerkurxr4ti @gli.only @vw #glisilverbullet #gli #vw #vwjetta #vwjettagli #vwjettamk7 #ea888 #volkswagen #volkswagenjetta #caranddriver #eurotuner #tunerevolution #carsandcoffee #thecarculture #motortrend #tunerevo #sportcompact #turbocharged #motortrend https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbz--oOrepA/?utm_medium=tumblr

We constantly see post asking what 1,2, or 3 car lengths look like. Recently R&T articled a 0-60 and 1/4mi comparo between the new Z and the Supra and Mustang. At over 100mph it wonderfully demonstrates what 3 car lengths or 0.2sec looks like. Again, this is at 100+ mph. Hit the link below to see what 0.2 secs looks like 🏎💨 Link: https://bit.ly/3LkEuR6 #fastandfurious @tunerevo @gli.only @vw #glisilverbullet #gli #vw #vwjetta #vwjettagli #mk7 #ea888 #ea888gen3 #volkswagen #volkswagenmk7 #volkswagenlove #volkswagenmotorsport #caranddriver #vwlove #vwperformance #vwpower #eurotuner #tunerevolution #carsandcoffee #thecarculture #motortrend #tunerevo #sportcompact #turbocharged #2023z #nissanz #supra #roadandtrack (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdoyw8uJZO3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
