I think my 1966 1300 cc VW Bug was rated 0-60 in 29 seconds.

BUT With the 1600 kit and a supercharger that bug would smoke 60 tires and lift the front end!!!  LOL    Course the gas mileage might suffer just a bit:lol:,

Do they still make the Judson Supercharger? I remember drooling over them in the JC Whitney catalogs. But 750 clams back in 1971 was twice what I paid for the bug.

Did not know the name...do not know if it is still available.  I have seen a few in action tho at the strip and on the street...one mean bug!!!  A good dose of ponies on such a light chassis is just a lot of fun.  Had a friend that with much judicious welding and bracing, shoehorned a 454 into a gremlin with a chopped down chevy rear end.....it was just plain silly ridiculous.....you steered with the throttle (or lack thereof) as the steering wheel was all but useless....lots of fun cruising the strip on a Friday night in that rig.
