I know people that are into drag racing, and have heard them talk about converting cars into rear wheel drive. It is possible to convert a car to rear wheel drive, but it requires alot of work. My guess is that it would be rediculously expensive. Not only that, but FWD cars have a transverse mounted engine, RWD cars have a longitudinal mounted engine. You'd have to rotate the engine, and possibly get a new trans. I'm not sure if a new trans is needed, but i don't think the current engine/trans. setup will convert easily. I'd have to say that it is possible, but I wouldn't have a clue on how to do it. I'm no expert so you should probably look into it further. I think that a RWD Jetta would be amazing, but I sure don't have the money/resources to do such a thing.
