Is this the quickest ever VW bodied car ?
Sixes will come, because the 7.044 pass was a back-off to
148mph from a 153.38 at half track and a 1.073, 60foot time.
Unfortunately he still broke out on a 7.15 dial in.

Simon is actually a real Volksie fan.
Actually it has more VW parts in that car than the number one car on the Forum Drag Times list.

i think you'll find there isn't, we have several hundred vw parts on the car including the original steel bodyshell!

and it has the right number of (aircooled) cylinders pushing it along too!:P
1965 T34 - 8.92@150mph.

Regardless of the engine everyone identifies it with being a VW beetle.

That has to be good for all of us.

Nice to see he has sorted it out...early days it used to spend more time sideways.

but is it good for us that it is recognised as a vw beetle, laymen could always compare REAL volksie drag cars against that.

stuff like

"oh that 10 seconds was nothing to that one with the v8"

all in all...great effort in the quick pass and glad he is doing it in a vw shell :P)

The only disaster was his sump and engine plate.
The sump had forged ribs in it from the crank and rods inside, after crashing into the ground.
Engine plate was aluminium and was a little warped from trying to
restrain an iron big block Chev engine after a sudden halt.

Hey Dave, if this ran 7.04 at 150 odd and 6.98 at 190odd mph, what do you think it ultimately has in it ?

Simon wants to be in the fives.
Current engine prob has mid sixes at 210 to 215mph.
People at the drags know that it is not a VW engine by its sound as you can imagine.
The real Volksies always get appreciated for their achievements.
