a beetle was the first manual car i've ever driven. the shifting took away from the gayness, right up until i stalled it. i wanted to put a bag over my head.

here you go gtpinsc, i saw a beetle last night, and i was pretty high. i thought i'd do a ricer fly by on this beast for you! ROFL!:th_laugh-lol3:
YouTube - Haha
:th_laugh-lol2: good stuff.
ppl in beetle were probably like wtf is this dude doin
yeah. they can be fast. with just a tune, intake and turbo back exhaust they gain like 55hp and 70lb ft. bigger intercooler and turbo....real fast. plus those 5spd trannys are pretty quick shifting, esp with a stg 2 or better clutch.
thats the same thing as K&N claming 20hp gains from an intake lol can never believe a vendor....you can however believe people who have first hand modding and tuning 3800s :th_thumbsup-wink:Quote:

:th_laugh-lol2: There's a modded beetle that lives close by me.. ugliest thing I've ever seen. I'd be embarrassed to be seen in one too, and I'm a girl lolz.
Headers added 19 horse to the tire to a bone stock SSEi with a Fenderwell intake. So, they really do. Not hyped.Quote:
