I just got my friends R1 back from M2 Performance and was down at a place getting the new Power FC tunned for the car. I am sitting underneath an over pass with the tunner guy in thae passenger seat playing with settings when a guy in a Bug with a 350 Chevy engine revs hard on me as he passes. The tunner guy just says to me get him. So I get on the freeway with this guy and catch up to him we slow down to about 35mph on the freeway the guy guns it and then I hit. I figured the 350 might have a chance, guess I was wrong pulled out about 2 car lengths on it in no time. I guess all the work that M2 and I did on the car along with the tunning worked. Just though it was cool that the guy tunning the car wanted me to take this guy and I had just met him needless to say my new favorite place to tune, and they have a dyno.

Good question...did the guy give you a look under the hood?

350 in a Bug? You sure? Jesus... I should drop a 996 twin turbo motor into a Geo Metro and go out to the races.

Well if it was a new bug the engine compartment could not fit a 350. If it was an old bug then the engine is in the rear. So how did he work the tranny and stuff? Are you sure it wasent just a done up bug. Cause a 350 would not work no where for the huge tranny to go and how did they install the driveshafts???

there was a guy in my high school that had a small block in his old beetle. Hideous contraption and I don't know if it was fast but it was loud, with half the engine hanging out the back and hanging over the back a little too.

rcarson 02-10-2004 11:35 PM

it was an old bug, and if you saw it you would know it was a 350 with part sticking out since he didn't have the hood/trunk on. It was a 350 I am sure. It was fast, but top end wasn't there. Sorry to take so long with the reply, I have been gone the past few days.

I don't know very many people who can tell a 350 from a 400 from a 289 when it's stuffed into the back of a bug and passing you on the street. You must be some sort of genius.

With killer vision.
