38hp from 0-60 in a blazing (smoldering) 32 seconds! That will give your 40hp Type 2 a run for it's money! Title: Re: New Renault Dolphin being built ( Franklins VW Werks ) Post by: ESH on February 01, 2008, 21:23:14 pm Looks like they both started out the same colour too:

They were right around the corner from where I lived, there was also a '63 'vert and a '69 deluxe bus, but my friends have those now ;)
Title: Re: New Renault Dolphin being built ( Franklins VW Werks ) Post by: danny gabbard on February 02, 2008, 23:41:09 pm Hey zack where in wyoming,I have aunt and cousin near casper. I was thinking about going this summer to visit
Title: Re: New Renault Dolphin being built ( Franklins VW Werks ) Post by: lawrence on February 03, 2008, 02:34:25 am that car is in the seattle area... i like how he welded in the rear subframe to th dalphine's pan. that stance is perfect... i just wish franklin could have run a hidden turbo set on it for the psuedo-sleeper/prostreet look. I agree. The car would look better from behind if the motor was hidden within some type of decklid. It is kinda cool that a car halfway around the world has an old San Mateo Dave Rasmussen plate frame and black CA plate. I live in san mateo, ca and dave rasmussen was a dealership that no longer exists.
