No need to set me striaght I just think that 400hp in a Golf is like 700hp in Jags. The car just can't handle it.
Jags probably doesn't really like his car anymore and that's why it might be for sale. It's too hard to handle and that frame, suspension, brakes, steering just aren't made for that much speed

To set things striaght here: my car is not a 700hp car, its a 830hp car.
Mark I like my car alot and its a blast to drive. Everything in that car has been upgraded, including the suspension, brakes, and clutch.
I am thinking of selling the car so I can get something different, albeit slower.
Everytime I mash the pedal in my car I get light headed and trust me thats a rush

Beetle Power
Your Beetle lays down some serious power, though... Your 71' Beetle has an astonishing 60 "crank" horsepower so you know.... you'd need 13.8X of your cars to even be in his league.
When you're 1283.33% outmatched, it's just no contest, or it's not supposed to be, yet you pulled on it really well when compared side to side....
Is your Beetle turbocharged?

Perfect. That is serious power for a car. But I can understand what your saying, a couple old friends when I first got into cars had Nissan 240sx's. One was 420whp the other 320whp. The 320whp was so much more fun to drive because the instant power and no waiting for the turbo's to spool, and it hooked up a lot better!
