ya i can see that, GO GO GO VW diesel
VW diesel in NASCAR would be a huge accomplishment! And excellent press for diesel cars.
Although NASCAR would have to rewrite the rule book to allow a diesel engine. As the engine rules are currently written, it seems as if only a gas engine can meet them.

Talk about taking a step backwards, a V-8 pushrod engine.
i agree a huge accomplishment, but yet a huge step back, ill stick to the V8 pushrod engine thank you.
The air cooled 4 cyl engines only.

Now I know why I no longer watch NASCAR.
Why don't they just bring out the old love bug and have Lindsay Lohan drive it? Geesh....

Are you suggesting that you don't think VW can make an engine worthy of NASCAR? You do know they're supposedly also working on an F1 engine program, right?

Why bother? There are much better places for VW to get exposure.

Johnny, why would you say that? Even though I own one and I like it OK, I think Overhead cam engines are quite over-rated. I'll take low RPM grunt in a simple, less expensive compact low center of gravity package any day, and no worry about timing bels, and ruining an engine if the [censored] thing lets go, and in most cases, no reccomended valve adjustments. If Ferarri had invented the GM LS series V8, people would be making pilgramages to Maranello to bow down and pray to it.

I'm surprised this thread is still alive.
You people realize the premise of this thread was not true, don't you? The media "report" was wrong, VW is not interested in NASCAR. VW was in Florida to talk to ISC about a possible entry or support of the Grand Am Road Racing Series. There was no connection to NASCAR whatsoever.

That's okay, we can still poke fun at the idea. A support series for Grand Am would be good though.

Well, if the rumor was indeed true, VW, well Audi/Lamborghini, has some bad mofo V8 engines that could tear up an oval track. I'd like to see VW/Audi in Nascar.....a big ol burly euro sedan tradin' paint with Fords and Chevys. lol
