It would probably beat the Z06. Simply due to the weight advantage alone. The beetle is an easy 10 second ride outta the box.

...now I just looked up and read that the question was about a "V8" bug. Well, I would think, that the BUG would have a better chance if it was running a stock variant of it's original motor on boost.... to take advantage of the weight saving's.....unless your talking about an aluminum V8...

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....
Well, you seem like the usual internet bad ***. I sent you a PM with information on whom to race and I said I could get in touch with them. You never responded.

And if my car is slow, what does that make yours? Super slow? If you lived near me, there are 3 imports within a 5 mile radius that would take you out, including me. Like I said, you ever make a trip to southern VA, let me know.

Theres a few guys running around with Windsor based Ford V8 Bugs. Actually very cool cars. Not easy or really sensible, but very cool.

Why are people waisting their time answering the question seriously? For the last time, this thread is a joke, who cares if a full blown drag set up POS can beat a bone stock C6 Z06 on street tires.

I think you're assuming people actually read the posts before writing...

Some of them are getting the hang of it though.

I would say the bug. Ive seen many bugs just kill on the track even though they were running all fucked up and poping all the way down the track.

Why waste a 400hp motor in a POS bug!!!!
I say put it in a Pinto so if it explodes you'll have that extra boost...
I think the technical term would be an afterburner

LFNDUST-first the new zo6 don't make 500hp.it know GM clains it does but on a dyno jets they around 450ish stock.i've seen two at the track and they were only high to mid 12 sec cars,and i have one on video running 12.8's.(maybe they can't drive,but most on the streets can't anyway) a 2,200lbs beetle bug w/400hp would kill the new zo6 in a drag race. years ago a older guy used to come to the track with a beetle bug,it had a STOCK 427ci in it and the car ran close to 9's on the motor and it was no joke.
