    517HP 1973 Super Beatle

    Don't think I'd wanna be in it to see how fast it'll go.

    Was going to a Pink Floyd concert in Milwaukee years ago with a bud in a super beatle(1973?) got caught in the passing lane in a no passing construction zone, holy crap, that thing had some get up and go , we made it back to safety, not your grandma's VW. Great show, the full moon actually came out when they played "dark side of the moon"

    I hope to hell I never loose my memories of the great times I had when I was young and feared nothing!!

    I used to love to drive down main street and pull the E-brake, bone stock VW, screech the tires at cross walks and see the people scatter.

    I got my cheap thrills!

    My first car was a 1971 VW square back tricked out with a 1776cc engine.

    I watched a few youtube videos of V-8 powered VW bugs. Too much HP in too short a wheelbase.

    My brother had an old beat up VW beatle. The thing had no floor boards, all rusted out. you looked down all you saw was road. I would put my feet on the dash as best I could and he kept his on the peddles. That thing didn't belong on the road but he drove it everywhere and it never left him stranded.

    My sisters bf had a beatle. Not sure what year. He bored out the engine and tweaked it quite a bit. Damn thing was fast.

    What did those little VW bugs get for fuel mileage? Did anyone here ever own one and check the MPG?

    They were great fun in the winter time during a snowstorm and no windshield defroster.
