When my girl pulled away from me at a light in her baby blue turbo Beetle convertible after driving me to pick up my BRZ, I thought "damn this car is kinda slow". Now 5k in mods later I just barely beat her in a straight line.
I'm just saying, I love my car, but not for the power. I like how it looks, how it handles, how it's fuel efficient, and how it's RWD, in that order. My car is great, but it's not fast, not at all. Maybe it's because of me, I'm just a guy who AutoX regularly and enjoy little red light racing here and there, oh wait, that most of us here  |
Oh please, baby blue beetle? That's nothing! My mom smoked me w this beetle
Yes, that's a PINK beetle. Not regular beetle. Diesel TURBO beetle. Do I care? Nope, not one single bit.
What's the old saying..?
"Pick a battle big enough to matter, small enough to win."
If I wanted to beat some Camry, Accord or PINK Beetle in the straight, I would of picked up Challenger, Camaro, STI or used Supra.
Not to be rude but, you know what you got into when you bought this car. You knew this car had barely 200hp. You knew this car can only win straight against Miata, Fiat 500 & if you're lucky maybe older Eclipse lol
Important part is which battle/race is important enough to matter. If you say straight, you got the wrong car lol
