It's been a long time since I've looked at VW Vortex and I think that is a great idea they have to show the members cars.

Hmmmmm................

The article and pictures are great, Jai. Thanks for sharing it with us.  :D  We're proud of you!!!

I saw the feature the other day, clicked on it, then thought to myself, "Hey, I know that car".

After that I knew I needed to drop by here and give a Congratz!

Here's a shot of the car that I took last year.  Couldn't resist getting this pair in a pic.

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.
