Did you see the Gumball 3000 videos this year? One of the cars they had in there was a 60's VW bus that had been transplanted onto a Porsche suspension and drivetrain. They were blasting down the freeway at 140+ mph in a VW Bus.

Talk about a sleeper, imagine coming up behind that on a country road thinking you were going to hand him his ***, and then ...well you would not tell anyone what happened

LOL that is just amazing.. I was laughing so hard as he passed the porsche's and all. The things suspension must be hard as a rock.. I didn't see that thing flex at all. You expect the thing to tumble over 3-4 at every turn but it just hauls more ***. Muahaha.

Neat vid. Imagine what that thing could do if it were 8 inches closer to the ground!! The thing still looks like you could take it camping with all that ground clearance!!
