12A Turbo vs 13B-T : For a Lightweight Beetle Kit Car
After a lot of research I can’t find a definitive answer on which engine is better , some people argue that the 12A is dogshit and others argue that the 13b is overrated and that it’s only slightly better than a 12A .The car is extremely light ( lighter than a beetle ! ) and a lot of people have warned me that more power =\ not necessarily faster , now I know all about Wheelspin and Drag coefficient, Down Force , air pressure , Weight Distribution ... e.t.c now I know a 13B-TT might be overkill but will a lightly modded street-ported 12a turbo manage to get a top
speed of 300 km/h and a sub 5s 0 - 60 km/h.
I know this is kind of a depends and it’s a stupid question but please forgive me

If the car is as light as you say, i would say a nice streetported 13b NA and the right transmission and rear gear could achieve your goals...
