How hard would it be to get into the 12's with a superbeetle and a 1776 cc engine? and how much money wise?

isnt going to happen

Maybe turbo and a BIG bank account, and even then it's a stretch. If you want 12's, think BIGGER.

alright thanks, I dont actually have a superbug.....im a honda guy. but my friend insists that he is going to make his bug run 12's. now i thought the swap from 1600cc to 1776 was gonna make him faster but IMO it wasnt worth the 1200 bucks.

a 1776 will make him faster, but were still talkin like 18's in the quarter, IF he's a good driver

Would 5k do it? He says he can go turbo with 5k and be in the 12's. I also apologize for bringing our immaturity into your forums, so this will be my last post about it.

5k would definitely do it, turbo, nitrous, and well over 1776 ccs for that much. but if he does it, make sure he knows what he's doing. it takes serious work to make a bug go that fast. the bugs were only designed to hold 100km/h (about 62mph). so think about what is going to happen when its doing 120

Hey. I'm running in the low 10's with my stock 1600dp.

Oh, wait a minute. You're talking quarter miles. I'm talking about getting out of my driveway.

My bad. Never mind. :)
