There will always be someone with a faster car! But I am not a beetle type of person, not my style car. If you dropped that flat six into a roller skate you would fly like hell too!!

WOW!!! At first I was thinking surely this is staged, but esp. that night video- they are blowing past traffic! I an still wondering how that VW in the first two videos was hooking up so well with so much power???

Just figured I would chime in, I have a MKII which isnt all that much more in weight than a MKI Rabbit. and I have a VR6T and you can check my sig. it makes some nasty power and at just under 2200lbs with drive and a tank of gas... I have and will continue to hurt the feelings of supra owners across the DC/Metro area ;-)
happen to have any videos that we can get a laugh from?
i love the look on someones face as a car that they should beat blows past them.... priceless

I use to own a 2000 New Beetle 1.8T with BT Set-Up and N/A 996's, Ferrari 360 and Aston Martin's and ETC's use to wonder what just happend... Now my 4-Banger with 5-speed only went up to 250 KMPH after that id get passed but untill then i had the laugh. It was'nt all that fast, i made about 364Hp and 434 TQ @ 28 PSI (Daily Driver)... But some of the VR6 with Turbo's or Any VR6 with a Turbo, you would not want to Screw around with...
