0 - 60 mph performance

[SilverBullet]

I've never timed my 0-100km/h but was about 2-3 car length ahead of an STI off the line and also 05 M3. T4 2.7.

Thanks SilverBullet that's the knid of performance i was looking for, after a lots of hard work of course.

Now I all I have to do is find a beetle, restore it and put a large engine in it.

Not only a large engine but also a correct gearing on the gearbox, lightening of the bug will give better results. But dont forget the ultimate, safety.

[Bad bug]

Silverbullet what is done to lighten the car.

[SilverBullet]

Fiberglass fenders all round, cf decklid and bonnet, lexan rear and side windows, only a thin layer of carpet to cover the bare metal, light racing seats to come, presently using electric porsche seats which are heavy! Thats about pretty much of what I did. Might change my 993 brake set for the AP set, which are also lighter.

I think you got the clue

A 2 liter Type 4 will give around 8 seconds to 60/62 mph in a normal 1303 (which is kinda heavy).

Cool! A 1303 and Fastback weigh almost the same , IIRC, so my 1800 EFI type 4 will be pretty quick
