Check out this old VW bug

Bug Power

 

love them old bugs----what happend to the stang ?--i think he just went back to the parking lot----nothin like a v8 gettin owned by a 4 cyl

 

yeah, i can't wait to find an old bug for myself, but mine won't ever be that fast.

 

There is this kid in my auto class who is apparantly a hug VW fan. My teacher has a '72 (i think) 427 corvette (which is SICK). The kid was talking smack, still does, that he could build a VW bug to beat my teacher's Vette. I didn't think it was possible, now it looks like it could happen. But knowing that kid, no way he could pull it off. He built an intake from Home Depot. My teacher was liek how are u gonna beat my vette if your building intakes from parts at home depot.

 

That VW probly has a ej20 in it, they make swap kits to fit everything from 3800 v6's to rotories to subie engines in them.

 

now thats a sleeper

 

you can take a aircooled 1600cc and bore and stroke it until it gets to about 2200cc, with a lot of compression and a good cam and dual carbs it could beat a 427 vette easy, and do wheelies all day. but the motor wouldn't last long at all.
