WPVW ben's green supercharged drag beetle 9.90 @ 134 mph


In 2009 just 6 weeks before warwick vw drags team WPVW decided to build me a race car so we pulled a 1966 beetle from the yard and started. The beetle started out as just put a engine and gearbox into it and go race. Untill Wayne Penrose found a old supercharger and decided to put that on. Here are some pics from the start

After we found the supercharger we decided to chop the front off to make it a little lighter and also add spindle mount wheels.

Hi Ben,

It's amazing how one can have a pan to build a car and then when you start, the plan totally changes :lol: :lol::lol::lol:

Love the story, photos and your car :tu::tu::tu::tu:

Thanks, Kevin

car is now ready for dyno. I was alittle dissapointed about the dyno figure. I expected about 20psi from the supercharger but it would only make 5psi. But it still made 195 hp at wheels at 7000rpm. Here are two vids of first engine start and dyno

well warwick was not so good for in 2010. After getting new engine ready i done a nice burnout staged the car got it off the line it had a bit of axle tramp changed to second and the car turned right into the wall. The impact bent front beam both right hand wheels. After looking at the car back at the workshop we found that the cv joints could not handle it and broke the cage which caused me to turn right.
