What did you strip out to get the wet weight down to 990?
The Mk4 is lighter, which is what makes the largest difference. Put a GTi engine on a skateboard and your 1/4 mile will be pretty swift.

No, you see, the way I see it is this.
60Mph ~ 27 m/s, so
27 / g = 2.7
Where g = gravity

Actually, I was just pondering whether it is possible to accelerate faster than that in a wheel driven car.... ? (ignoring downforce)
You could always glue an army surplus sidewinder to the roof.
