Have you ever done any passes down the qaurter in any VW you've owned? If so, what car was it, what was in it and what was the time your car pulled..
Just fishing for capabilities of different volkswagnes.
I own a 1966 beetle
with a 1600 singleport (pretty stock)
and did 18.5 @ 103kph

I did a massive 20.5 this year at the VW Nationals in my stock 1500 single port
and got through to the semis in our VW bracket

20.5... ok, maybe not an exceptional time... but MAN the car makes up for it SO much in appeal.... looks great on the strip.
I had a mate who did 14.1 in a 2007 on 44 webbers... mint ride that one
