Running on a mass of period 60's and 70's american performance parts many of which were hand made by the pioneers of v.w racing in the states. This car has the quickest pick-up off the lights i have ever driven and every time you launch hard you feel the front wheels lift, back wheels grab the black stuff and launch you so hard you feel like your neck will snap. This is only a 1641cc engine but can fight well above it's weight on the strip or take on all comers on the street.A founding member of SPADUBS v.w club and member of break away Elite Drag racing division of the club who race under the club name HITLERS HOTRODS.
