Ok. Thats a strange bet for the guy in the beetle to make. His car is a low 16 seconds at best in the quarter. If the 3000 is the SL he'll be a second quicker and if its the VR4 its a case of to many drugs
 In either case the 3000 will quickly grab a lead and extend it for the length of the race.

Re: 3000GT vs. Turbo Beetle help!
What year base model? If it's a 91-96 he is still in good shape, if 97+ he isn't in too good of shape. A testpipe replacing the cat will help a bit, as will the lightened flywheel. Boltons on a turbo car can really make a difference, you happen to know which? Also, my quick .02 about chips...there are some that are a few hundred and good, few might be a better word... Then they are 10s of thousands that are cheap resistors advertised as chips, that lie to the ECU about the ambient temp, so the ECU dumps more fuel, and you run richer...these don't help you at all.

I don't know if they want to race on the highway but it would be a great advantage.There are different stages in clutchs u can get.some are for racing and some for street.There are many combinations of clutchs u can get out in the market.If your planing on getting a clutch i recomend getting a lightened flywheel with it too it makes a great combination and you'll defenitly feel the difference.The car is a Base moble 1994 3000GT.The car just got a new trany and polished heads.It's been siting in the garage for a few months.He takes it out once every few weeks.the car doesn't have that many miles on it too.I think the turbo beetle in running 9psi of boost.Is this the pressure of air being forced in the car?

Re: 3000GT vs. Turbo Beetle help!
LOL The guy with the beetle kinda reminds me of this guy at my school that drives a yellow beetle. He speeds through the school parking lot acting like he owns the damn place (LMFAO). Last year, someone serran wrapped his car, stuck a fish on his antenna, wrote "Beetles are for girls," and parked his car in the middle of a parking lot.

Re: 3000GT vs. Turbo Beetle help!
yeah but think about a sleeper beetle racing for 500 bucks everytime... You could make yourself a pretty penny doing that.
