Here's the latest from the fastest event to date for VWs
Darryl Vittone set a new 36hp record @ 151MPH!! in his turbo'd 25HP based ghia.
Britt Grannis and Juan Cole's Ghia just topped 167mph!!! and was only .4mph off the all time fastest air-cooled VW record!!
Potter Bro. Racing got their FWD Passat 4dr with a turbo'd 4-banger up to 201mph!!!!!! and gained entry into the presigous Mojave Magnum 200 MPH Club. They went faster than all but the top V-8 powered cars!!
This event is still on-going so these could be bested before this is over.
Who say's VWs are not fast?? _________________ Regards,

For heaven's sake, put a type4 and a Porsche 5-speed in there. . . It's the right thing to do!! |

Thanks Nate, Britts run of 167.1 MPH was done on gasoline with carburators. No Turbo, No Nitrous, No Supercharger, No Fuel injection, and No computer! I believe that makes it the fastest Stock bodied, Naturally aspirated, air-cooled VW on the Planet! Land Speed Racing is FUN! VW enthusiasts,
