... A loaded 1983 Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit GTI cost around $8000 brand new, which translated to just over $19,000 in today's money. Fast forward to today, where a 2015 Golf GTI with all options ticked would set you back more than $31,000... Meh. Strung together non sequiturs. A 1983 model car that performed as well as a 2015 model would have cost far more than $8k, if available at all. That '83 Rabbit GTI has about a 9 second 0-60 time. Any new 'sporty' Golf/GTI will do 0-60 in less than 7, and some models a lot less than that.

My son and his buddy bought and restored a 1980 VW Rabbit. They replaced the fuel injection system with a carburetor. Someone had replaced the engine with an Audi engine at some point. 110 hp supposedly.
My 2003 Infiniti has 260hp.
