the next transformer movie they can make bumblebee back into a bug (this bug) instead of that silly car it is right now

544hp out of a 1.6 4 banger is pretty freakin impressive!!

Wish they woulda left him as the '76 camaro. Much cooler than the new one!!

Yea no kidding! Especially if you look at it this way....

Turbo 1.6L = 544hp
Hellcat Hemi supercharged 6.2 = 6??hp

Sorta ridiculous...

I've seen 1600cc beetles run 11 second 1/4 miles...

Germans know how to build cars that for sure. I just don't like working on them.

The German education system turns out some talented craftsman. After ninth grade, most kids are given a trade that leads to internships and jobs--sometimes before they turn 19. In the US, we focus on preparing each and every kid to go to college, and while it is an admirable goal, it is not very realistic.

Agree 100%, from someone that wasn't a good fit for college and now works with a bunch of college educated people, most of which still don't have a clue.

I remember years ago there was a chick that had like a 70s beetle she ran at the local strip in Warner Robins, Ga. She put all kinda stuff on the trailer. she had that car runnin mid 10s hangin them little tires in the air hard. She won her race on a regular basis.

Here's all that's left of the strip now. Sad.

Too many of these tracks like this any more. The big corporate tracks that operate just don't have that " down home feeling" like these do.
