Bren, have you considered an IRS set-up for you Bug?

yup! but it wont happen until i tear my car apart for a rebuild.. ie: its a long way off! im perfectly happy with the handling of the swingaxle rear end anyway, ive spent a long time getting it to work well on the street so im not gonna undo it all for a while yet..

'Touring cars don't drag race! my point was about hooking up. Drag cars don't do bends.

exactly! its all about compromise! you choose setup and parts for your car depending on its main use. my car was built for the street, particularly setup for cornering, hence its poor launches at the 'pod.. no big deal for me, i would rather have a car that handles well on the street than one that handles like a dog but is able to launch hard.. after all, the roads in this country cannot be described as straight! ...and as my car does 6000miles a year on the roads, and only about 2 miles a year on the dragstrip you can see why my car is setup like it is! decent drag cars cant take corners.. its the flipside of the coin.. they see little or no road use, so they dont care that they cant corner.. dragstrips dont have corners after all!
