kevo 路

just curious thats all,

reub 路

don't open this can of worms dude.....you'll get the whole, but it's gotta be aircooled to be a dub, or have original chassis....or a whole host of other replies....

Think Dangerous (dave butler) has the best signature on the forum....Go the Volksies! Whatever the engine! (mind you, not sure if he means what ever the 'aircooled' engine...馃樀

VWCOOL 路

Fastest or quickest?

squizy 路

Legal or not legal?

bails 路

salt lake or 1/4? mate has a 850 hp c10 chevy pick up with a vw logo bean bag in the back ( for the drive in ) does that count?馃槒

butidontunderstand 路

young dubbers or "OLD" dubbers?????? hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce

hellbugged 路

actual or theoretical......

71superbug 路

how about we have two answers to get rid of the question of aircooled or not..could format it something like this

Fastest aircooled volkswagen automobile : (post time here)

Fastest non aircooled volkswagen automobile : (post time here) (in a straight line we are talking and over the 1/4 mile.

simple enough for yas ? 馃檪

Doug Sweetman 路

Search for the Top 50 Aussieveedubbers Drag Times post, that has a bunch of peoples 1/4 mile times in it.

For me, it would be Mr Penrose with his 8.96 or the pommy guy Automanics, who runs a Razor ghia in the 8's as well.

Forgive me if I'm wrong Dave, I cant recall how quick your blown car was ??

By the way, I'm just guessing here, and my opinions are not official !

crewcabconnection 路

kombikim 路

ColumBUS 路

Volkswagenboy 路

Veronika:

Tuned by Me
Thrashed by Me
Being rebuilt by... Me
Fast enough for now, but she only does about 135-140 kph max.
-Staggers.

Joel 路

on a standard 1600 thats pretty good
altho 14" rims make the speedo read abit faster
i;ve clocked my Lbug once
oil light so bit over 160 on cut springs so im not sure how i didnt die LOL
wont be doing that again

-Joel

Joel 路

i knew this photo was buried somewhere on the hard drive
trust me ppl VWs are not safe at these speeds specially on cut springs LOL
i only tried it coz it was 5:30am and i was the only car on the road so i'd only kill me:o

14 inch rims with higher profile tyres makes it all even.
-Staggers.

Joel 路

mine read about 5km/h fast with 185/70 on
they're bout 1" smaller than stock 165 15"s
so anything bigger shouldnt make much diff

-Joel

bajachris88 路

lol, maxing out ur speedo with speed over 160kms in a dangerous dub with only one hand on the wheel! GOOD ON YA MATE! 馃檪

Hmm, might be dave, dunno, but he knows his engine stuff. saw his ute few weeks back, asked him bout his tray-full of V8 cranks, he must work with alot of VERY nice engines :P

bugeyedbabe 路

ahh...joel...now i know why there was the game of 'tag, ur it' going on, on the trip down to valla...

100 to zero in 1 second flat = "ARRHHH FAAArK!'

was funny to watch from my car though....馃榾

btw...like all good vw's ur speedo was broken and the needle was stuck...u weren't really going that fast..not really...(pst, u know there are coppers on here right??)

bugeyedbabe 路

and edith can go ZOOM ZOOM fast...she pops her pressure valve when she does...but she can...

i just love her too much to push her that hard...:kiss..

Joel 路

i had the big time shits with the bug that morning
i'm a shocker for taking aggression out on cars when im pissed off
thought it would make a good kodak moment tho LOL
luckily i've grown up abit since then and dont drive like a f--khead anymore
ok yes i did wind her up to pass u all to get that video on the way down to valla but she needed her legs stretched LOL

20 seconds ZOMG!!! :duh

That all of a sudden makes me feel a heluvalot better about how Buttercup hauls (or doesnt)! :bounce

The big yellow loaf of bread manages about 15 seconds... that's with a stock, prolly worn out, never tuned since before i had it twin-carb 2L with badly adjusted valves, and an 010 ( 2L) gearbox with a ratted input shaft bearing, driving thru 185/70 tyres on 14" rims... oh and that is also with an ass end stuffed with marine ply cupboards, foldout bed, stove, fridge, water tank, 2 spare tyres and a whole heap of spare bits... with a nice poptop to kill the aerodynamics! 馃槀

helbus 路

Vroooooooooooooom

Schmoburger 路

Lucky b*****!....If I tried to drag mine the clutch would possibly disintegrate, chances are the conrods would snap, and more than likely the gearbox fall to pieces hehehe 馃槀

Hey wait a tick, scoobydoos don't count.. cheating swine you are, Mr "I like shifting into 2nd at 6000rpm"!!! 馃槀 :P :puke

[ Edited on 21-8-2006 by Schmoburger ]

kevo 路

yer hellbus thats it!
I'd love to have a friendly drag with ya flaming beast, has a spare on the front too, good shit!

here is my finished bus.
Concerning the conversations about 0 - 100 time, i havent been too particular about timing it yet, but it does 0-100 in roughly 8 seconds

enjoy


helbus 路

According to the drag time slip we got to 61mph by half track, which is about 100kph and that was 11.45 seconds

VWFREAK 路

Hm that an interesting question.

Here we go again.

1916 路

as far as street registered..

i think its safe to say now.

WAYNE PENROSE.

nuff said.

Schmoburger 路

yeh but Mr Penrose is old as the hills! :P 馃槀

helbus 路

Our dub is the fastest one we own. That's all that matters to us.

1916 路

also. a REALLY fast car is fast at braking/cornering aswell as straight..

so that opens up another bad of worms.

bajachris88 路

Sheesh.... haven't u all worked it out yet...

U all know mine is that fastest :P:thumb

Sitting in the backyard there, it can fly around the world so quick u dont' even notice it had moved


HAHA jokes 馃榿

kevo 路

1916 you make thinks to complicated haha,

yep i know the 3 rotor 20Bt bus, i think that is top three fastest in aus if not the world,

but as schmoburber said, he is not a young dubber..................... hence the forum.................


QUOTE by HELLBUS "Our dub is the fastest one we own. That's all that matters to us."
Damn rite mate that is what counts 馃槈
oh yer i ran mine down the quater on sunday and ran a 17.6 @ 140km/h iz so stoked!!

vwkg 路

1961 Karmann Ghia, bored out 1600cc engine.

Ran off its speedo 馃榾

So no way of knowing really, 160km/h+, and still with plenty of pull.

Iwish4aSynchro 路

Cruisin home from a tafe course a "while" ago in the missus'us old 61 sardine top and got flashed by the cops because i was doin 75MPH i really didnt realise i was just followin the queenslanders in front, they didnt get flashed by the way. Stock motor stock 6volt electrics.

Type3Sicko 路

I'm not a young dubber as such but i can tell you that our '61 bug with modest 1600 (ie; one 32 solex carby)twin port still accellerates when the speedo passes 80 mph and our '65 1500 squareback will do the same, i've had the panel up to 160Km/h but that's scary with buttercutters all round and a full load of beer in case form! Can't remember having as much fun in other cars i've owned...what was the question?

The Bigfella 路

OK - not a Volkisie, but a nice video of running the speedo out of territory

57bajaboy 路

Definitely, mines the fastest.
Top speed of.......
its so fast i cant describe it,
at a guess, i would have to
say about 80 km/h
AT TOP SPEED

vw_love_bug 路

my 1600 is fast enough i havent worked on it yet
still takes over all the bloody skylines and commodores and even a porshe
problem best thing is the police dont even look at you

jsheppard64 路

I struggle to reach 90 on Prince highway going up hill

DaveCarter 路

I pulled like a 13.6 at warwick 08 in my stocker LOL. Waaaaaaaaaaay slow but i was on my L's at the time so i put it down in my logbook 馃憤

colonel mustard 路

Hey dave, what is the new setup?? i keep to see it at warwick 馃檪

Mine, is not the fastest, but its fast enough - just wish it had more go off the line..

DaveCarter 路

its a 1904 with 40mm dells and an AP2 cam (similar to 110 grind). Will be interesting to see how it goes at warwick. Feels pretty good 馃榿

colonel mustard 路

Sounds good. Why the Dells? Wouldn't something like DCNF webers be suitable :P

see you there man 馃檪

DaveCarter 路

LOL. Na the dells just came up at the right time and we cbf finding jets and modifying air cleaners in time for Canberra.

colonel mustard 路

I checked out the build thread on clubvw.org - it looks good. you're a lucky guy! are you and your father both going to warwick in your bug?

DaveCarter 路

Yeah both heading up in it. With us and the swags across the back seat it is a pretty tight fit!

esevwbits 路

This should help me lose my license again.. when i get it back.

1303Steve 路

Hi

I reckon top speed would go to Rudie's turbo Beetle sports sedan, 215 kph @ 6000 rpm 1/2 way down the Oran Park straight, he has to back off to avoid the rev limiter.

He now has 5 speed which will give him 229 kph when its fitted.

Steve

1303Steve 路

Hi

Holy cow, sorry Hindus. I just looked at Dangerous Daves MPH, he is the winner for sure.

Steve

bennybug 路

Im a purist so if you ask me who has or what is the fastest dub i would say that old beetles馃槑 or kombies馃槑 or whatever are not meant to be fast. However many other people would say otherwise.

stagvee40 路

Im 14, have an Historic formula vee ( http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d164/chequer57/_MG_0516_LOWRES.jpg ) It has only 45hp (approx because the rules for these cars are very strict) but it corners like its on rails and has a very impressive power to weight ratio -375kg 45hp do the maths! lol though ummmm errrrrrr not umm quite a volkswagen as such (spaceframe chassis with 1200 running gear)
