Lucky Owner Takes of His New Foose Coupe
Posted Saturday, Jul 19, 2008 by carried
With the complete and utter collapse of Unique Performance, we were wondering who would be taking over the sales and marketing for the Foose Coupe. Not to worry, because Superformance Distribution of Irvine, CA has picked up the reigns and recently delivered its first car through its Hillbank Motor Corporation dealership. This is just the fourth Foose Coupe produced, after the green and black prototypes at the 2006 SEMA show and the first publicly available car that was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson's Palm Beach auction last year. The owner opted for the 392ci Hemi V8 pumping out around 500 horsepower, and a custom paint scheme featuring carbon fiber spears surrounded by flames hand painted by Chip Foose himself. Check out all the amazing details of this incredible coupe in our huge photo gallery below.

This is true--unfortunately, only because the 2.5 Rabbit/Jetta's mileage is so exceptionally bad for its class. IIRC, the GTI's figures are midpack among sport-compacts.

Ironically, the GTI with the 2.0T gets better mileage than the base 2.5 5 cylinder rabbit. More power AND more efficiency! I love that engine.

This is a good idea. Also bring a smaller motor to the Rabbit.

Whatever. Go ahead and whine about the Cobalt chassis if you want.

But even if you don't like the look, these photos don't support its feeling "cheap." The surface textures and sheens suggest the same squishy-grade stuff used in the Malibu, Silverado, H3, and parts of the CTS.
