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.

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

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.

Chassis work and set up yes has to be perfect but then having huge amount of boost and HP always makes things quick too LOL

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.
