OK I was going home from valley. Got off 10 fwy onto olympic blvd.
The cars in front of me were going like 20mph so I was casually I switched to the right most lane. As I stopped at light light I noticed a silver bug and a silver audi with exhaust. Knowing how slow those bugs are I just gave some gas until 2nd gear and without looking, merged into the next lane cuz there were parked cars ahead. When I was already halfway into next lane I noticed this bug on my tail. I got so freaked out cuz I thought I was supposed to leave him in the dust. So then we all raced reaching almost 70 on local streets. I got scared and slowed down. I asked him at next light if that thing's a turbo. He said "I chipped it!." I was so relieved at that point because I thought I was getting smoked by a regular bug(still barely beat him). The guy in audi said let's go again. From next light we were rolling till about 5mph then floored it. As I'm slowly gaining on him I could hear his BOV. I was so surprised that I beat both of them even with my slipping clutch. Those cars are cool. I like them. :D

hey turbo bugs only have 140hp, i test drove one of those (it was my second option if i wanted a new vw) teh thing has some balls through first and thats about it. you have to watch out for the turbo s though, that thing is crazy, imagine a bug with about 184 bhp !!!
Actually it has 150 bhp stock and mid 7's 0-60. I know chipping a turbo car does alot so he probably has around 170 hp at least. Some1 correct me if I'm wrong. the hp alone doesn't sound like much but consider how light that thing is.
well those A4 1.8T's go 0-60 in late 7's early 8's. so you coulda taken that no question.
I thought the beetle weighed in at just over 3000lbs, that's not all _THAT_ light, quite portly actually for such a small car. The non-turbo weighs in at 2800lbs.
Sorry dude.... that was an unofficial loss in my book. Shouldn't even be close. The bug is a joke (leave it to the civic si's). The Audi is a joke (leave it to the RSX/integra). I bet you feel proud beating on little girls too huh?

:D

He said the bug was chipped. I don't know the numbers on a chipped one, but if they run mid 7's stock then I'd say beating a chipped one is a pretty good kill.
