I got the Ghia to run a 12.4 quarter mile with full tuning and a 100 shot of nitrous. I seriously doubt that the Beetle will go as fast though. I wish the developers would have looked further into...

I remember Sport Compact Car magazine once did a seat test where they compared all the seats from Sparco, Recaro, Corbeau, and even APC. The test covered things like comfort, support, weight, etc. ...

Ahhh...what about this? Cut some circular holes in the fenders where the little fender grills often are on VW's. Then run some brake ducts. That could be a good shot at having some form, as well...

Um...what about some carbon fiber or satin black headlight rings to bring in some contrast. A more far-out thought could be to put some grills in the hood or apron like the fun cup cars have. Yeah,...

Did any plans ever surface from this? I have to do a project for a welding class I'm in, so I thought I'd make a kafer cup brace. Anyway, if anyone can reverse engineer some plans from an existing...

Superman: I'll be honest with you. The 1303 is sounding like a better platform to start with all the time. It may be 55 or so lbs heavier than the same year standard, but with a curved windshield...

Zen: I'm excited to see what comes of that. I realize it won't be super accurate data, but at least we'll get a real, experience-based result from it. For the real-deal challenge, maybe we (as a...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that coilover kit lets the springs do 100% of the work. No torsion bar. Are the shock towers strong enough for it though? I guess a cross brace would fix it. It looks like...

Oh...I didn't think standards varied in weight that much. Maybe my figure I got of the samba was wrong too. Well, 99 pounds is a lot less than 200. If that's the case, the super is looking better....
