Far out!

I used to go to the drags at Calder in the late 1960s, when the top fuellers ran in the high 7's. Never imagined a Beetle would do that.

Wow!! that is unbelievable.
who would have though a dub could go so fast

I saw the Red Baron run a 8.2x quarter at SAC earlier this year and thought it was insanely quick/fast - would have loved to have seen the first 7sec VW pro mod!!
Congratulations to Eric, Scott and the team.

thats is frikken awesome!!! cant believe its still a pan car.... great r&d there.... good work mr baron....

holy crap i love that car man

Absolutely Amazing, Top Work!!

That is nuts! I can't stop watching it but I've really got to get back to it!

I for one would love to see those chassis settings. that's gotta be where it's at. AWESOME work for rear engined car with no steering for the first 60feet.

would I be wrong in thinking that the issue of low times has been more tied to chassis work than a lack of HP over the last 10 years or so?

That car has seen a rather large increase in HP over the last few years as well but yes chassis dynamics is tiying the package altogether nicely.

I can't even comprehend how it takes off like that.

how many HP?
