Well if i were you id get the Bug not only do they eat every thing around such as RICE but you could drop a 350 in it and do cartwheels. I seriousely ahve seen a bug with a 350 in it it was all costom and no back seat.

I've even heard of big block conversion packages for bugs.. let's just not go down this path, it's as bad as imagining a fiero with a blown 454 peeking out the back..
And.. eh.. TTA, that's.. uhm.. really scary.. the way that tta is wretching those drag slicks... .. very.. very.. scary..

Putting a 350 in a bug would be like straping a rocket engine to a skate board
FUN AS HELL!

Anyone see the issue of hot rod where they crammed an old Cadillac V8 into a Chevette? Those guys had some ***** to drive that thing- especially since there was no more firewall- the driver was right by the engine & trans.

I saw that one, Tom. That was, well, different to say the least.

I have to agree with TechSmurf about the TTA. I gotta find me one of those!

I once raced a bug with my TTA. He asked me to race, I guess he was setting someone else up for the bigh one. This bug's plate said VW KINGI and he had a lookalike bug there also with VW KINGII. Right before we lined up, KINGI stopped and turned his nitrous on. We lined up and both left together, raced for a 1/8 mile and he stayed right next to me all the way, I beat him by 3 feet. This bug ran low 8's in the 8th mile just like I did.

You can neveer tell what's in some of these cars anymore. This bug I knew so it wasn;t a surprise.

Monkie, get the bug and build the VW motor up and win some money to buy that TTA.

Pete
