At least, compared to this mostrousity. Apologies if this has already been posted.

The world's fastest VW Beetle. EVER.

Let's just say the guy hasn't had the courage to try to find the top speed to this thing yet. And who can blame him?

Boy. I want a ride in this thing.

And check out the scooter at the bottom of the page.

 

Coolest thing i have ever seen!!!!

 

I saw that thing on TV. That's got to be fun, yet scary as all get out at the same time.

 

you know that thing is in sunnyvale right? ed?

didn't even need to click the link... a few people know what ron patrick's bug is equipped with...

 

He should let mythbusters test it.

 

I wonder if it's as loud as the jet engine dragsters I saw this summer. Those things were AMAZING.

 

there's a few videos out there he made... nothing on the streets of course..

i'm thinking that it's really, really loud... to the point where you couldn't tell the difference between his and the dragsters..

it's a jet engine.. hehe.. LOUD.

 

This is what happens when you mix car guys, nerds, and money.




I wonder how many Miles per Gallons he gets in that thing?!!!

 

I think it is more like Gallons per Mile

 

I doubt it. Those dragsters are using much larger jets (from planes). The VW's jet is from a turbine helicopter. I'm sure it's still plenty loud though!

 

yeah.. either way... you're gonna need earplugs keeping you from going deaf!

(that's why i just said... yeah.. it's "LOUD")
