Just completed reading a lot of information regarding RABY engines.
All of the information points from the Mild to Wild they produce a Quality and Bulletproof product. Does anyone out there on the "World" have first hand knowledge or experience with a RABY engine? Is the higher than normal acquisition cost worth the performance, reliability and drivability characteristics claimed by the Manufacturer. Also seems to be a quite lengthy wait time associated between the ordering of an engine and its delivery. Any information would be great Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

I seem to recall that when WW2 ended, the allies were looking for anything to get the economy going again, and th beetle was all set to go, all tested and ready to build.
Porsche put his name in the ring to run the company but due to his lack of experience in large automated manufacturing the allies chose someone else to run VW and Porsches designs, property of the government, were used to build the beetle. Porsche was not pleased and went out to build his own car, but he went back to the designs he really liked and the 356 was born... But, the 914 is a NARP...and so is the 924/944 line...just saying.

Rich So does my Vanagon use Porsche parts or are my Porsches using Vanagon parts? I have found a few pieces on my Vanagon that were also used on Porsche models that pre-date it. |
