My dad actually built the world's fastest VW beetle back in the 1960's.It was called the "Mouse Trap".It ran in the 9 second range! I still have the July 1970 issue of Popular Hot Rodding with the car on the cover.!
Years ago I had a 1970 Volkswagen. Bug blue printed 1600 cc motor 40 pound empi clutch 2 barrel carb headers turned the 1/4 mile at 20 et at almost 105 mph. Reminds me of the good old days .God bless you guys
Love air cooled V Dubs just as they were in the mid to late 60's. Soaking up the glory in the I/Gas class. The setup was twin 48IDA Webers, tall intake manifolds, big displacement (for an air cooled VW) rad cam, high compression (for a VW). Good big valve, ported after market heads, knife edged forged crank, 8 dowel flywheel, roller high ratio rocker arms. Naturally aspirated, unlike the supercharged Willys, Henry J. and Anglia AA/ G running in the early to mid 60's. It's actually pretty much the present day air cooled VW P/S (Pro Stock) class minus the wild custom paint adorning the 60's I/Gas cars. Many of which continue to run in Europe, England and Scandinavia.
Damn i love this video ! i watch it with a pair of high end Studio Quality headphones on to really hear the engines there is something so exciting about a VW motor sounding like these guys get them going to i’m freinds with two Brothers that own and operate a Automotive repair shop that financially does very well so these guys have some personal Toys one of them Builds and Races old school Chevy Hot Rods and the other one has been collecting old VWs for years to build one that will smoke the others Classic American Big and Small Blocks just to have his bragging rights
My passion for bugs started back home in Monterrey MX seeing 9-10 second bugs at the autodromo race track when I was a kid and the car shows were crazy in mx, heavily moded audio systems to interior,exterior,stroker motors...I wanted to buy a bug in mx and build it but prob not a way to legalize it hear in the states,but the currency of the american $ you could build a stroker motor for half the price...
Parts in the UK are getting really expensive now, so to have motors like these built, costs a fortune. Still nothing beats seeing a bug run in the 9's, well until you see one run in the 8's :)

Track marshals dont really like the exhaust digging into the floor. Probably ok, on the road, or non prepped track. I think soon as the guys start getting this quick, they add the wheelie bar setup.
Shall I do a Luke Highlight Video :) :) Definitely missing my early morning walk round the pits with my cup of coffee, seeing all the racers working away, and getting ready for the day.
Just curious - what's the most power that can be had out of an air-cooled 4 in one of these and still be able to close the rear lid. I.e. sleeper mode? Would that be via a Type IV short block?
There is probably someone much better at answering this than me. I have seen 280bhp from the type1 engine, and then the way to go is to add NOS. Its the big turbo setups that stop the engine lid from shutting. So with 100 to 150 shot of NOS, you can get the power up to 400+bhp.
I've seen some turbo setups with low mount turbos still concealed under the decklid with 300+hp, powerhaus vw in CA builds some beautiful engines and cb performance also in CA some of the best vw engine builders that will build to your spec...there are popular vw swaps like the 13b rotary small in size that will fit under the decklid or the Subaru ej20,ej25 from the sti flat 4 boxer engine,its low profile makes a popular swap as well...

Hm, wasnt Mouse Trap not in 1973?
I remember that car from the mid 1970's. I think it was running 10's when I saw it.

It's insane how they can make a vehicle shaped like a loaf of bread go through the quarter mile so fast
yeah it is mad mate. Hoping to film a campervan break into the 10's this year !!!!
What's insane is perception vs reality of just what is a low drag aerodynamic shape. It's not always what you think it's gonna be.
@@gregorytimmons4777 Are they aerodynamic, or is it just brute power? Either way, they are still impressive to watch..
Hitler subjected them to through wind tunnel testing.

Glad you like the video mate. Its a sound you never get sick of hearing. Looking forward to being back at the track soon. Stay Tuned 🤙
So damn cool I love this video
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it
Love it. This is GLORIOUS!
Nice one mate. Glad you liked it
I know right its so amazing
Well I never!!!! Insane power from these Vdub motors....
yeah, they don't hang about :) :)
noting better then seen vw beat modern cars on drag strip
Great video
Love it
Cheers mate
Love the content...I'm a big VW guy myself but I'm mainly into the 2.0 8valve setups
Cheers mate. Dont get many 8v racers at the track. All the Golf guys love the VR6 turbo setups now.
@@VeeDubRacing I actually have a golf 3 cabriolet with a VR6 12valve conversion 😅 but shes my daily. But 2.0 8valve turbo set up coming soon hopefully
I'd love to get 200-250hp from a turbo 8valve
@@rushdipaleker Would be good to see. Not even sure what the 1/4 mile record is for a 2.0 8v Turbo. Will have to find out.
@@VeeDubRacing here in cape town there is a 8valve N/A golf running 12.5 sec 1/4 mile

Nice to see Bernard Newburys, Stitch Up.
It always is.. Such a cool car
Saved best till last eh 8.2 wow thats mint
Só os TOP BR !
some great ET's
6:10 A Fiat X19 bodied VW? Someone needs to do a street version!
Yeah, that is one cool little car.
Darrell Vittone drove it back in the Years.
cool video :)
Thanks mate
Me first car was a bug 1967. Miss that car
Come a long way since then. about 50bhp back then, and now 500+bhp with some of these
Those cars are awesome!!!! Esp. the buses!!!!
Hoping to see some more quick buses out on the track this year.........fingers crossed for some racing
Did that bus have a 6 speed transmission :o
Yep 😎😎

Those little VWs can get pretty pissed!
1:25 What's the spec on Natural High?! I couldn't imagine a NA launch like that. (O_O)
I know it used to run a 2387cc engine, but not sure on the spec. There may be some more info on the Outlaw Flat Four FaceBook page
I notice that some have wheelie bars whilst others make do with a very long exhaust.....
Track marshals dont really like the exhaust digging into the floor. Probably ok, on the road, or non prepped track. I think soon as the guys start getting this quick, they add the wheelie bar setup.
