you want quick? check out some dune buggys. they have speed in those things down to an art.

i have seen some vw dune buggys with some mad horse power but what kinda motors do then things have? like flat fours or sixes? the only motor that i have seen flat was a subaru WRX sti flat four.

My AE86 ran the strip in 9.41 and it's my daily driver.
The guys i run with have Hondas,Nissans and two beetles and one of them runs it in about 9.11

Very possible. A 1200 hp bug with race body can clock ~ 6.5 s quarter mile, but only on days when the British can successfully operate a Mars lander.

Review the Fisher Buggies.

Instead of an old Porsche 930, I'm considering a bug chassis and working up a barely-streetable rocket, going for the widebody canyon-carver. hope to boost a 2l, and add extra oil cooling. --only a shopping list right now.

I came across a website that you shoould all check out....

They swap engines and do some awesome upgrades for your beetle but at a great cost. The 494hp model all wheel drive boasts a 3.9 0-60 in rain soaked track faster than dodge viper on dry track..just fyi...

I'm in an air-cooled mood, back into one after a year. HPA specializes in late-model water-cooled -- a "saturated" market. Haha, I typed water and saturated in the same sentence. Oh I'm so proud of me. Are you? Yes me.

The dodge viper srt-10 is rated at 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. And that's a generalized number as you all know companies do that. I have seen postings anywhere between 3.5-4.2seconds for the viper srt-10.
