Can We Build the Fastest 1/4 mile Car for $5000? ~ JDM vs Euro Episode 1

What is faster a JDM car, or a European car? The battle of "who is the fastest" is a long debated one. So @Gears and Gasoline challenged me to a $5000 drag race build! We are building the fastest VW we can for $5000. Both cars will run 1/4 race and the fastest 1/4 wins! This is part 1 of a 4 part series to see who can build the fastest car for $5000!
