Re: my 68 volkswagen will outrun my 07 pt cruzr?
Keep in mind power/weight ratio. That bug is right around 2000lbs. The PT is about 3200lbs. The PT has 150hp and a slushbox auto I assume? Your built motor has what? Over 100hp? My brother has a 1600cc dual port in his buggy with about 85-90hp and he had a 1900cc engine in a bus with dual carbs and about 130hp. He'd get looks when he would wheelie. It doesn't take much power to make those light VW's to move.
If you're running around 120-150hp in your Bug, you're in Miata territory.
