That just made my jaw drop. 400HP is ******* crazy for that car, plus I'm guessing it is light too. Straight up sleeper.

Youd be surprised how many of them out there are like that...my friend in class next to me goes to a forum, like this one called thesamba.com Check it out, whole bunch of cars like that one. Not all rotary, but there are some that are pretty sick.

There was a site a while ago IIRC schoolbusturbo.com it featured a tubbed out bug with a porsche aircooled engine and a....school_bus_turbo. it was *silly*.

So how was it mounted? Transversely with a transaxle... longitudinally engine in the front, in the "back seat"?

Some of those VW guys do some insane custom work...trying to remember what they called the car, but it was a VW that was slammed, and had the top chopped, so that the window was about at most 5 inches tall. It was insane, the guy could hardly get out of the damn thing. I know that its on the samba though, and i think theres a couple videos on you tube. Think it was like Death beetle or something like that, that they called it.
