ha! how do you explain that?
I guess if I had a genuine GT40 I'd be nursing it too... humiliating though.
Maybe its just one of those funny caption photos
& the reverse actually happened !

Never mind the GT40 Replica what has the Beetle got in the back of it?
I have a Pulsar GTiR with a 2lt turbo and AWD and my car would have troubles doing a low 13's pass down the 1/4 and that bug is doing 13.26?

Pretty impressive when you think about it as there is no Turbo and all the electronics to go with it (EFI, ECU, AFM, TPS etc etc).
Though with new rods, cams, valves, spring, forged pistons etc it's one expensive little engine that Beetles got so it would wanna go fast!
At the moment I's just settle for a new clutch! Anyone wanna install one for me for free? I'd love you forever! :kiss Even take you for a
ride round the block!

GT40
That was Doug Shepherd's GT40. He built it after building a couple of Cobras and I believe it was not far off an og one in HP. But yes that
beetle of Boris' went like the clappers. I watched it absolutely flog Ferraris, Mustangs, Aston Martins, Porsches and a Lancia Stratos factory
rally car around Symmons Plains. Very embarrasing for the big buck boys toys. volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.
