Thanks. Car looks Great!
The New Beetle is a great car to drive in factory form. It has tight steering and a slightly firm suspension. You can take them into the corners at a nice rate of speed, but the tail will start to wiggle if you push it to hard. Stock horsepower depending on engine ranges from 90 - 180. I just saw a modified 1.8T New Beetle last week that put down 330 to the wheels. Some New Beetles have cleared the 650 mark with twin turbos. They are a fun car to tune. Mine drive like a go-kart with the upgraded suspension, sway bars, wide body, and such. The New Beetle is a completely different car than the old bug, so the old issues don't apply. New Beetle's have a whole new set of issues, hehe.
