2000 lbs sounds like a full body weight car and about 300 hp hmmm i think its more around 450 to 500 hp well that is what it sounds to me but the car its fast thats a fact

@firebeetlese @firebeetlese It is a 100% steel full body / full weight VW, but your HP thought / guess is dead wrong. Joe's 2387cc is putting about 300 to the wheels when on the spray. I built the motor & it's been dyno'd multiple times. If you want to see what 500HP in a full steel body VW looks like going down the track, type kurt vs camaro in the search bar above

are they that fast cause they're so light or because they have high horsepower?

Joe's car weighs about 2000 lbs. & has a little over 200HP on the motor - 300HP when he uses the nitrous, so to answer your question, both.
