my 1303 will hold its own against most sports cars on the hill climbs i do. have been quicker than 911's, lotus elise, the mx5's are a long way behind. this is over a short course with speeds never getting over 100mph.
guess what i'm saying is it depends on how you compaer to sports cars and what your doing with it. short sprints the bug can be very competertive as long as the speeds are kept say below 100mph, once over that then the areo and p[ower of the modern sports car will leave you behind.
drag racing is very differnat as the bug has a advantage over just about any other car, it needs less power to run quick times than most. i have helped run a 2232 turbo drag car that with 240bhp it ran lows 11.s, i also help with a mk2 golf fitted with a 20v turbo thats running over 400bhp which runs high 10's. both are proper drag cars but the fwd golf needs a lot more power to go as quick.
