So your comparing a dual port 1300 and a dual port 1600? (I can't remember the engine codes)
I don't think there's much difference. 1600 is ~40HP, 1300 I guess ~35hp???
A stock VW was never built for speed but will give you years of loving reliable service when maintained :party

At the wheels that is, I think dual port 1600 put out 60HP at the flywheel
Remember a beetle only weighs 750kg!

a dual port super bug engine with a 34 pict carb should put out 65 horses from factory. superbugs actually are quite adequatly powered for their
weight.
a datsun 120y only has 67 horse power or something like that and they would be heavier.
