I am buying my virst viper in december (either a 94 or 95 rt) My bosses son is building a 76 vw bug. This kid doesnt know what he is doing but he keeps telling me that his bug will kick my vipers you know what. Now I have raced at the drag strip for years and I dont see how is bug will win. What do you think

If he builds it strictly for 1/4 mile use than sure he will beat you. But if it is a street car, its going to be hard to make a bug keep up.

He is building a street car, and I think he has been watching the fast n furious too much lol.

Make sure to tell him the engine goes in the front. It'll take him years trying to find drivetrain components and you won't have to worry about racing him.
I wouldn't be too concerned if I were you. I can't imagine many VW Beetles short of the love bug himself could beat a viper on a dragstrip, especially from some kid that doesn't know what he's doing.

the kid may not know squat but as for a bug beating a stock viper in a 1/4 mile; piece of cake; there a vw bug at where i drag every week doing consistent 12's easily. its not hard to do at all

I get the same **** from the rustang crowd. $500.00 worth of mods go a long way on these cars.
It's good to be the one that everyone is trying to beat or compare themselves to.
Bottom line...........Who cares, cause it's still a BUG!

Squash him!

And... why would someone mod a 76 VW bug? The car is older than he probably is.

Any photoshop pro's want to have some fun and show me some Fast & the Furious style bugs?

Dan,
The picture is waaaay too funny! It doesn't matter what year the other car is but if the kid is real dumb then it sounds more as if he's dreaming, but on any given day there are always cars faster than you think.

Oh yeah,you should be worried.But it has nothing to do with cars.

P.S. I saw your post on the corvette Z06 site,same title. You need to get more original.
