I drove the beetle to work this morning. It's going really well. In fact the bog stock ignition seems better than the MSD (well it did die on me).
A dark grey Porsche 997 was darting through the traffic and giving the car a bit of a boot-full at each set of lights. I followed at a distance. Then the traffic parted and I ended up next to him at the traffic lights in my similarly coloured '56. It was pissing down.
The lights went green and I gently left then put my boot into it after about 5 meters and he followed. The oval gave a slight squirm on the way to about 7200 rpm. Then into second, another slight squirm and I was a tad ahead of the Porsche. My foot as flat to the floor. Buried. Then we were neck and neck. Into third and his nose was at the drivers door. We were doing about 130 kmph and we backed off. I looked over and he was looking at me and grinning like a fool.
What fun. I couldn't believe the grip.
I'm sold. The ZF LSD was a good investment. Now, when is the next track day.
