I bet that would cost $200k to pay someone to do it. Especially at the level of work that John Reynolds does.I wonder what the cost was for that conversion? Had to be expensive.

Excellent work and a ton of fun.

Badass Go Cart ... LOL . . My brother used to build 2 litter Alcohol burner VeeWee's , The short run, and Torque was pretty mean in the 1/8th mile .
Scared the crap out of me anytime it got over 100 MPH in that tuna cans . Was not the speed but aerodynamics and shape of the Bug body . Those fuckers are Notorious for air flow and getting light, lifting, losing contact patch and going airborne .
Personally witnessed this . The shape of the traditional VW bug body was Never Ever meant to ever go this fast .
I watched a badass Bug at Woodburn 1/4 mile strip out here . back when they used to let us go sideXside, the Bikes and Cars . Was waiting on another run and watching a bug lineup with another car, The tree light went down and they both rolled off the line. Less than halfway into the run, The Bug got light and then lifted up, went invert, and crossed up over the center medium airborne, landed right ontop the car in next lane.

Screw that, that thing was looking to loose control every time he got on it.
Push that thing around a corner and you will be performing inverted flight.
Power without control is what that thing is.
God he should have know better. Even if it was a stock bug he might not win. I had an 82 stingray and those 350s were total dogs. Had to LS swap it to make it fun. When you floor a "sports car" and the front end doesn't even rise up you know you need more bald eagles under the hood.Back in high school, 1984-ish... outside the Juliet Movie Theater, next to Vassar College... There was a great 1/4 mile run from the stop light, always some action on a Friday and Saturday night. A guy having a mid-life crisis with his brand new Corvette and blonde-gal co-pilot pull up to the light... a gray primered '64 Bug pulls up next, sounding like four chainsaws with the throttles broken on WFO. I see wheelie-bars poking out from under the back, and he's got some fatties hanging off the rear all canted in... Dude and blondie start laughing, and he starts revving his 350 TPI... Dude in the Bug looks over and smiles... I knew we were in for a show.
Bug starts pre-staging a little... light turns green and all hell breaks loose from that air-cooled four-banger, pulls the front wheels about a foot off the ground and practically DISAPPEARS into the night.
Guy in the Corvette didn't make it 50 feet before he knew he was a loser of the highest order. He was close enough to hear the crowd gathered on all corners laughing our collective asses off as he slunk off down the street.
Love me some Farfegnugen to this day. Shoulda never sold my '66.
At 5:25 he said he chose it because beetle enthusiasts don't like super beetles.Why a super beetle though?
Hes right. I figured a 73 since its pre egr valve. Not relevent with the motor swap though.At 5:25 he said he chose it because beetle enthusiasts don't like super beetles.

I cringe at how many 911's have been drifted backwards into a tree because "oh shit too fast, let off the throttle"...It's only a little worse than the early (late 70s, early 80s) 911 Turbos. Back then it took a little different skillset than most drivers of hp cars had due to the weight distribution and power delivery differences.
Now, most drivers have no idea how to drive anything that doesn't have fwd/auto trans/stability control/ABS. Driving a car like this, even for modern enthusiasts, is like trying to fly an alien spaceship.
Yeah around there. It's funny because nowadays even my stock factory truck has over twice the hp as those things.Didn't they have an advertised HP rating of 185?
In her defense, I think about everything she drives is automatic. She's a sweetheart and a great person.He looks very frustrated with her when changing gears![]()

Come on now. A bit dramatic ain't it?a heavily rear-biased death machine that's trying to rewrite the laws of physics upon every corner entry

Where's the car in this video?I like her but don’t need another one. Cars cool too!
