It's the old dunebuggy I built @ work 5 years ago. 1952 VW bug chassis, with a 1.8L aircooled engine. Fast as *****, built to last. He bought it off my old boss for $400 with a trailer, a trailer that can haul real cars too. Mt ex-boss is a jerkoff, glad Vosko got it.

yeah, actually it does drift really well. due to the fact that it only has rear brakes. 30+ MPH, hit the brakes, counter steer and dorifto is born!

well I can't tell you top speed, due to no speedometer. But I can tell you this. It definatly weights less than 800 pounds, it's got a 4 speed tranny, and the engine was out of an old vw bus, and I know those things could hit 80+mph.

When I first built it at work, and got it running, I took it for a spin on the street. I never made it to 4th gear, because I could tell I was doing atlest 40-50MPH, and with only rear brakes, it's kinda hard to stop.
