Sweet

[VintageSC73]

Now those are some mighty fine VW's - Great vid!

[Vycatocom]

The Karmann Ghia should be produced again by Volkswagen with modern technique.

It's a very elegantly looking car.

[adam1othman]

... Bad ass ( on I pad)

[adam1othman]

Kk thanks I personally like the bug it looks baddest ass

[adam1othman]

What are top speeds of both cars

[swrnc]

@adam1othman Steve just dropped a 2160 or some shit in his car, porche style cooler, ofcoarse his car ---the ghia--is a trailer queen, and is driven rarely, so we don't know how fast his really goes, my car the bug, isn't built for racing, its a 1776 with a engle 100 cam, forged graphite cima pistons, counterweighted crank, made for driving, on a straight away, I can cruse nicely at around 85 mph and still have more to give.. I restored both cars, mine just happens to be a driver...

[BunnyBUNGALO]

whats he got in that? I have a 1776 cc with dual ports and a scat camshaft with a thunderbird header and a stock carb. check out my channel for the video haha.

Good old fashioned drag race between buddies. Great times

[ZONER4201]

[swrnc]

@ZONER4201 Navy Base In San Diago... Going with my son, then driving my vw back... Pete

[toyotalomofo]

lol i love swrnc vid's i have set back and watched all of them what a bad ass Channel

[FartenStart]

I think you just chose the wrong lane Pete. Sun was in your eyes. He left the light early. Nice of you to let Steve win.

[djeraser]

Ahhh the good old low fuel in the fuel tank to make your car lighter. I call for a re race.

[Redcoat66]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[mandtconstruct]

STEVE STEVE STEVE I got one you won't beat!!! I'll make sure Pete calls ya when I make it in!!

[twiprod002]

Good old American street drag racing... Nice ... Both cars are awesome!!

[khanio1]

He put less gas in or raced with a low tank so he can have less weight on the car, the car moves alot quicker that way

[bigjohnson5619]

sweet one everyone ...

[ZONER4201]

his car is slow because vw steve is a fatass lol more torque. Pete did you get those L.ED'S

[swrnc]

@ZONER4201 Not yet,,, I will get them when I get back from the road trip to California with me and Maxwell.... Pete

[doberfag]

so maxwell topped out at 35 mph and the ghia what , like 45 mph? whoo hoo

[DavesKustoms]

Back in 1997, I had a 1993 Mustang Foxbody Cobra five speed with 4.10s, headers and exhaust.( Great car! ) One night we ventured about 45 miles away to another town and I ran into a Karmann Ghia that kicked my ass!!! I mean that thing was NASTY!!! Great fun guys! Steve you have a sweet ride bro!!

[ErikjStudios]

Love the surf music bro! goes too well with the Classic V-Dubs!

[marcellinasfigaro]

Steve, congrats on the first place in the car show. Pete, you had something to do with that, congrats to you too!

[jzama85]

hahahaha!!!! goddamm!! he ran out of gas, bud!!  This video is sooooo cool!

JZ

[ziggassedup]

The out come was inevitable pete...we know that....i think the next time a little race gas and a sneaky spray bottle should do the trick.....

cheers mate.

[mectechman1]

Bitter sweet victory! Keeping the Ghia light (below minimum fuel), probably helium in the wheels as well and so on. :)

Nice clip.

/mtm

[Alisterwolf66]

Pete, I'll bet a paint job my '75 1303A will getcha both!

(seriously... I need a paint job. Stupid clearcoat's peeling off)

[swrnc]

@Alisterwolf66 Peeling Clear Coat SUCKS......

[Alisterwolf66]

Tell me about it. Car's almost immaculate - not a speck of rust, no dents (save for where I managed to catch the Fat Boy on something)... but it looks like it has leprosy.

Believe me, I'm watchin' your vids, pickin' up all the tips and tricks that I can, before I tackle my Bug or anything else!

[phill903]

Pete and Maxwell run a awesome race...come in first!!!

[shartne]

Pete you need to cam it up a little if your gonna race.

[RamblinAround]

Great to see the VW's go at it. Awesome stuff....now Pete will be looking for a 911 engine.

[fatasdat]

that ghia is insane. welldone steve on the first place steve. Goodwork Pete.

[jesus15817]

Dont worry Pete if it wasent for lane on that turn you would of passed him.

[dinkman911]

Also for all the people that have followed us from the start, I entered my first car show and wait for it ....... took first place, Thanks for the support :) (by the way so pete dont yell at me this is VW Steve posting)

[dinkman911]

It was all in good fun, by the way stay tuned for ghia engine 2.0. Big plans for the ghia engine in the coming weeks so stay tuned. (by the way so pete dont yell at me this is VW Steve posting) - sneak peek new polished and ported heads, cam change and porsche 911 shroud kit its gonna be awesome.
