@loveanianimeme theres nothing in the front end, part of the reason they stopped making them is because they couldnt keep up with the saftly laws that were being passed. its deff not safe to crash, besides that its all 1 piece so the whole car would be destroyed, just about.
yeah but those things are pretty light. my bug is only pushing about 95-100HP but it can keep up wiht our 2006 grand prix. untill i shift into 4th anyway. then i get blown away.
Considering the 1600CC sits north of 60HP, close to 70HP and thats on the conservative VW Single Port internals. There is no reason why you can't build 110WHP on that platform. With extreme modification, people have gotten 300HP on dedicated drag ghias (lots of boost, meth. injection and NO nitrous). Think before you post please k thx ;).
lol nice comment, cause old stock volkswagen engines aren't capable of 320 horsepower and up, but modded they can get well over that and be one of the best sleepers around.

With a Ghia you don't need more to blast everyone off the track!

2000 pounds, a little less than your average modern car. It's small but it's all metal construction, not plastic and fiberglass like today's cars.

Well, I can see that perfectly, by the complete lack of distinguishing characteristics observable from outside the engine compartment.
Please forgive me for this egregious error, since most of my experience is on THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY and UP HORSEPOWER LS1 V-8 engines.

Don't worry about those wore out volkswagens, you wouldn't understand. Just stick with the turnkey chromies out of the edelbrock catalog.
