my best so far is a 16.2
I'm hoping to get into the 15's once I get a couple of issues sorted.
even a 15.99 I'll be happy with.

vwtyp2 - April 27th, 2005 at 09:18 AM

some days I think about not selling it and putting on the supercharger kit from Castlemaine Rod Shop.

"Quick camper" must be in with a shot at the title, surely

gayanne - May 1st, 2005 at 10:20 AM

BUS 23Q - May 1st, 2005 at 03:55 PM

any buses racen at the nationals ....and my best was a 15.4


amazer - May 22nd, 2005 at 09:33 PM

Baaaah humbug. Using all those other engines is cheating.
Back in the times when I did the 14's there wasnt a VW powered (street) bus doing anything like that. VW trends or hot vws did a story on it. The quickest in the US was only 16 seconds or something. A lot slower.


speedster356 - May 22nd, 2005 at 09:41 PM

Yeah I heard about that old guy Chris and his camper........;)


crewcabconnection - May 22nd, 2005 at 10:40 PM

Indian's has to be in the running. I 'borrowed' it for a run out the other week. It's a 3.8V6 Supercharged, with extras (hes not telling). Not that I'm up on 'hot cars', but can only be described as having your own pet gorilla with a set of blue balls. It's a scary fast, and it corners, stops and handles like it's on the 'rails' as they say. Massive amounts of low down grunt, and more than enough go in any gear you like.


coxy007 - May 23rd, 2005 at 06:53 PM

My dual cab does 16sec hopefully faster soon. Kombi and v8 best of both worlds


wacked1 - May 24th, 2005 at 10:35 AM

coxy007
tell us more son


coxy007 - May 24th, 2005 at 09:03 PM

My daul cab is the grey one with the 4L alloy v8 thats lifted with 33 &1/2 inch wheels on the back. I sold my old blue 2L dual cab to buy this little beauty. All i done to it is put uni chip and k & n filter and she flies. I am on to my second gearbox though.
