So the other day I was driving home and I stop at a red light making a left hand turn, it’s a double lane and a vw beetle turbo pulls up, this thing looks pretty cool (lol) he has nice rims, lowered and nice exhaust note to it..green light and we turn and as soon as we straighten out he punches it and pulls ahead of me about ¾ car to a CL. I was not ready for this but since we were still in 1st gear, I punched it and started to reel him in, not fast but I was reeling him in, 2nd gear comes along and now we’re side by-side…Im thinking to myself “this buggy’s fast!”…3rd gear comes along (BMW’s Magic gear) and I instantly pull on him! (okay, not instantly but..his little turbo must of ran out of juice) and I got him by the rear bump at top 3rd gear…That little bogger’s pretty impressive! we both let off and he gives me a thumbs up with a grind on his face and he makes a right turn, I smile back and drove my way home…
Honestly, I thought I was going to loose to a darn buggy! who knows how fast those things can get! My friend has a 70’s model and it runs 10’s! haha

HI MOM! LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!
the turbo beetles are no joke...some have 150hp later ones 180hp...same motor, turbo, etc like the golf, jetta 1.8T so it responds to mods quite easily...good run though
I raced a chick with some nerdy glasses on and a dude in one down a long road with slight curves in it. We were about dead even. It was pretty fun! She was a good sport though. Those things look really cool for bugs I think. Lady driving it seemed to be really cool. Rare car around here from what I have seen
$704$
i also have a stock 1.8t turbo bug...i don't think it's fast (auto), but a fun car to drive. I think you have come up against a stock Turbo S tho. the 180hp version.
