Do you know what times they did?

Wayne Penrose did a 1.09 last year I think?? And that's quick!!


A friend of mine has run a 1.00 flat in his supercharged honda integra type R.

Just looking for a base of comparison.

I think that 1.00 range is entirely possible for some of the great builders/drivers on here. 😎

Vee's count as long as its aircooled

I have seen on speed week that commodore VN sixes do 1.09, must come down to driving skill, is this a fair summation.

yeah that class is super competitive very good drivers and more development than a humble vee dub fan! however it should be very attainable to be close to the improved prod times pre turbo days!

Daniel Reynolds has done a 1-07.2.....[naturally aspirated] 1600 F.Vee.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Zanello 1.12 .... 1998cc, 10 year old tyres

Great driver, well sorted car..... Becomes a HP race to go under this time in a beetle IMHO

1.07 for the under 2ltrs pretty rapid! great time that paul did new tyres would drop a few seconds easily. getting close!

All this theory proves nothing!
