2004 Volkswagen Mk4 Golf R32 Supercharged 3.2l Vr6 on 2040-cars

Awesome VW, 2004 MKIV R32.  Many performance upgrades, including:

Stage 2 VF Supercharger with intercooler (you can see the big intercooler hiding behind the low center grill)
Methanol Injection.  Metered according to boost, using a Snow Performance injection controller.  Meth tank/pump are mounted in the rear hatch area.
Oversize stainless exhaust.
Adjustable coil-over suspension.
Slotted and drilled brake rotors.

This car is super fun to drive.   On the track, it'll run with much more expensive cars.  Previous owner (I think I'm owner #2), did almost all the upgrades, and claimed ~450hp, with race mode loaded into the ECU, on the right fuel.   I'm won't claim a HP number (haven't dyno tested it), but can attest that it is a VERY strong runner.

Lots of recent work - including new alternator and battery, new serpentine/supercharger-drive belt, new oil pump and bearings, new clutch, new dogbone lower motor mount.

The pictures speak for themselves.   And the sound (turn it up!):

From the VIN, ebay automatically extracted some of the vehicle details.  Rest assured, this is no longer a "naturally aspirated" car.

In the interest of full disclosure, let's list the known flaws:
 - The tint job on the windows could use a re-do.
 - It's 10 year old paint.  So, it's got a few nicks, door dings, tired clear coat in a couple spots.   But it is certainly presentable and drivable as-is.  (it's just not new-car fresh)
 - Previous owner had the rear seats out (lighter weight for racing).  I am still missing the drivers side lower rear seat.  I may still recover the original from the previous owner; but - if not - have a source where a near-new replacement can be purchased for $65, including shipping.
 - It appears that there was, at one time, a big subwoofer box in the back.  Wiring is still there for it; but I don't have the sub, box, or amp.
 - I haven't had this car long, and to be honest, don't know as much as I should about it.   For instance, I haven't played with the flashloader.  So the new owner will get to figure out a few things  dialing it in for his or her preference.

Car is located in Salt Lake City, UT.  It's stored at a shop, and available for inspection.  I can help facilitate shipping if required.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

Winterkorn vacates chairs on Audi, Truck & Bus boards

Thu, Nov 12 2015

The last remaining vestiges of Martin Winterkorn's power within the Volkswagen Group are slowly melting away. The former chairman of the group's management board resigned as CEO nearly two months ago in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. He held onto other roles within the group, but one by one he's been vacating those as well. Last month Winterkorn resigned from his role at Porsche SE – Volkswagen's largest shareholder. Now the latest development comes from Bloomberg, which reports that Winterkorn has stepped down from his role as chairman of the supervisory board at Audi. Prior to his promotion to run the entire group, Winterkorn served as chief executive of the Audi division, and prior to his resignation served continued to serve as its board chairman. No date was given for his resignation from that capacity, nor any successor named at this point. Repeated requests for clarification from Audi have gone unanswered. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, spokespeople for VW's commercial vehicle operations confirmed that Winterkorn has also stepped down as the chairman of the board at Truck & Bus GmbH. The newly established division encompasses truck manufacturers Man and Scania. Winterkorn also served as chairman of Scania's board, but requests for confirmation of his departure from that role also went unanswered. The Swedish truck manufacturer, however, named Henrik Henriksson as its a new chief executive only a few days ago.
