Yes,heīs a very good friend of mine.The car handles very well.He didnīt build it as a strict drag racer,it can corner just as good as most sports cars.Right now heīs pushing around 600-650hp and hasnīt reached full boost yet.The twin turbos spool up to about 1.2-1.4 bar and heīs finally able to get 0,8-1,0 bar without pulverising the transmission.He estimates it will do about 700-750hp.The tiptronic seems to hold up well even though it was a nightmare to programm.He has done everything himself except the engine and mapping.Heīs not an engine buff,but he is an expert in fabricating.It looks like a 1200 beetle,but itīs actually a 1302 - the body has been modified to look like a 1200.The wheelbase is still 1302.It is brutal and incredibly stable.
