Default Will a 400 rwhp Gutted VW Beatle Beat a Stock C6 Z06

Hey guys just wondering if an old school gutted VW beatle with a swapped v8 making 400 rwhp and setup with a drag suspension, built tranny, built rear, and drag radials will beat a stock C6 Z06?

Since the Beatle is completely setup for drag it will put down all of its power and since your average V8 bug weighs like 2200 lbs or less, its the Beatle. If we get to put DRns suspension setup on the Z06 then its a very tough call. Im assuming its not the lame *** new Bug, but the RWD old one. Old school Bugs ran decent ETs long before everyone hopped on the sport compact thing. I bet on the Z06 over virtually any engine in any new Bug except maybe that Jet engined one. Maybe.

Of course, the Z06 can actually turn unlike a drag only Bug and will also make it home without killing its occupants.

This is stupid. The bug should easily run mid 10's. Not a close race a all. Built for drag so I assume this is a dig race.

BTW SDB, not everyone is looking to spend $75,000 on a car to race. I sure as hell wouldn't. Unless I had money to no end.

Looks like some folks missed your sarcasm with the poll and that f-bod vs. C6Z thread. I think it's funny as ****.

Nah...it's funny, people would rather be pissed than laugh I guess. I'm sure some of them caught on after they posted.

LOL, many people haven't figured out the thread is a joke in response to the 400 rwhp f-body vs a stock C6 Z06 like BigRon77 said.

Well lets see. My friends dad has a old bug with a v8, and when i raced him in my chevy truck with a v8, he won. But i couldn't drive the truck very good. and it was hot out. and he jumped a little bit so I am going to say the corvette, no wait the bug, yeah the bug will win.

Of course I meant that everyone should have a $75,000 car

It stupid to compare a cheapo dragged out single purpose broke dick hillbilly car to a refined supercar like a C6 Z06.

LS1INA7.....you seem to have lots of smart *** comments for someone who has a slow car and has to FIND someone for me to race....
