what's in the Beetle for a motor?

I was thinking this was a cover car I saw a couple yrs ago.

Very nice. Yes, I could definitely imagine that car would be quite a hand-full! Nice looking/performing bug for sure. I'll keep my eye out for more vids on it :)

And when i ran the 11.4,it was running with smaller heads,10psi boost and no NOS,if i had kept the car i would of progressed further with it,so good luck to paul who now owns the car;-)

Its was'nt the driver,i drove it as best as i could with it all over the track.
Loved every second of it!
-
that car had 500hp, was street legal and could only run high 10's. That car needs suspension tuning.

It's a VW flat-4, and the Subaru flat-4 is very similar in basic layout. So yes it does sound pretty close to a Subaru in some ways. Some uneducated bitter idiot gave you a thumbs down on your comment, but I set that straight for you with a thumbs up! Good ear. P.S. I love the sound of a mean loud as hell WRX :) ON a side note, how the heck did this car lose over 1/2 second in quarter when imported? Elevation? Fuel? Tires? Driving? Seems kind of weird...just curious.

looks like 11.42 @ 116.36, if you look close at the ending

Thats car is originally from Texas. I built that car and glad to see it still on the track!!! Man I miss that car.... Could anyone get me in contact with the owner?
Hey Harry, yup the suspension needs tuning, but I wouldn't under estimate how much work goes into getting ANY car into 10's or 9's...
And I think 500bhp is a bit hopeful tbh.... I would have thought more like 300-350 in the state of tune its in seen here.

Ha ha, sorry about that... the bug ran 10's when it was in the states but has yhet to reach that potential here in the UK since its import.
And no - its VW flat four all the way!
