With a passion such as this, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the work of a mastermind. In a roundabout way, this 2000 Volkswagen Jetta is precisely…out of the ordinary. This VW has unquestionably developed in recognition for the value and appreciation of its elegance. Who could have possible done this?! - Rod Guanzon of course, the brains behind this project.

His gorgeous and attractive car arrived in July of 2000. “I promised myself that I would not do anything on my Jetta until 2 years…I guess I lied to myself.” In fact, Rod was engaged on his brilliant plan in the midst of spring, 2001. Despite the high-powered six cylinder VR6 performance, remarkable safety features, and the magnificent luxurious features offered by the GLX – Rod could no longer linger unmodified!

Rod has absolutely put all his effort into making the ideal car of his dreams. Indeed, it has been preserved to look entirely spotless with much shine. If you ever get the opportunity to catch a glimpse of this shimmering black Jetta outside of the garage, where it spends most of its time – you will perceive stylishness. For starters, let’s take a stab at your imagination! Imagine this – a Oettinger body kit and Brock B4 wheels. Let’s take it further - GAIC performance chip and outrageous suspension. Look deeper – Audi TT slotted rotors! Of course, these are only a few of the unmentioned alterations. A numerous amount of details have been incorporated to enhance the interior, exterior, and the powerful six cylinder VR6.

Of the few, Rod is an individual who has been a member of REVTECH RACING since the establishment. Certainly, all the great work put into his car does come with a cost. Throughout Rod’s hard-working and long days in the drug business (pharmaceutical, of course), he always manages to somehow save the additional funds needed to further explore his hobby and passion for cars.

In spite of this, his unique and distinctive plans further develop. Future plans for this astounding car approach a stylish technique. “First, I research and visualize how I want my car to look. I want something simple, clean and tastefully done.....just right and not over doing it.” Future upgrades embrace the ever so powerful performance of nitrous oxide. Evidently, this car is one which incorporates power and design. With the many other upgrades to come, we can anxiously await the preparation of a turbo in this VR6 – “I need to do a lot of influencing with the Financial Director....if you know what I mean.”

By and large, Rod has definitely enjoyed the development and progression in this project. In spite of this, Rod would like to thank the following:

“I would like to thank my wife Susan for all the support she has given me. To my nephew Marc for giving me the opportunity to show my car as well as to Hugo for the fine quality job he performed on my car. Hugo did my whole suspension upgrade. Also, a special thanks to Ray, owner of Unique Auto Body, who painted and installed my Oettinger full body kit and to Autowerkes for a fine quality job on preventive maintenance.”

Nonetheless, REVTECH RACING would like to congratulate Rod Guanzon on his continuing accomplishments and dedication. As always, to conclude, be sure to keep your eyes open at upcoming car shows for this breathtaking, exhilarating, VW Jetta GLX VR6…and don’t forget to sneak a glance at the rest of this site.
