Must be all that chrome tinware and clear dissy cap.

wouldnt even pull a 9 sec 1/8th mile down hill.
geez even a stock superbeetle and type3 will do 90mph 🙄


Must be some pretty special fibreglass guard to ummm... rust 😂

Obviously the owner has had the fuel pump off at some stage, bit heavy with a spanner!! maybe used a 2 foot/ half inch drive breaker bar to get that fuel pump tight????

notice how the listing has been revised since this forum post - maybe someone let them know about the impossibility of the claim.

Maybe they should also tell them the rest of the add needs a little work😉

" it has been hard to pin point the exact grunt of this motor as everything possible is fast and in second gear i got booked doing 82 in 60 zone."
"i havent flogged the motor or pushed it to its limit. i just drive it to and fro from work and to the local shops"
And the fibreglass guard is rusting too.

Its been bored out to the max.
It has a 3 1/2 inch exhaust.

this beetle was at my shop for new floorpan halves and an engine rebuild only back in 2001.......
the super hypo engine is in fact a 1642 engine with stock crank & rods , engle w100 camshaft , stock 040 dual port heads with a pair of 34mm single throat webers .......

I now realise that I have stuffed up big time putting a 2868ml type-4 alcohol injected turbo engine in my oval to run 9's , when really I would have saved a hell of a lot of money using this combination......😂😂

Craig Torrens ·

and the chrome tinware......thats gotta be worth a couple of secs ?!😉

Wow, only a $4000 starting bid!!

Seriously what are some people thinking??

I thought it had 3 half inch exhaust what happened to the fouth

Anyone wanna take a bet it DONT sell

I especially like the yellow dissy cap

Yeah Wayne it would have been cheaper n easier to just switch engines to get down the strip that quick

lol, i cant remember the last time i enjoyed reading something that much :P that ad is gold and i wish i had noticed this thread before it got revised.... i have no idea how they incorporated the 9 second claim but going by the rest of the ad it would have been brilliant 🙂
