We're not saying it's crap...it's FAR FROM it...it's just a little counter productive.
The Porsche's with the 8 pistons are also slowing from insanely fast speeds. Also, those Porsche's have perfect braking surfaces at all times, with a track that's also heated with racing tires. Granted you will have the motor to make up for the unsprung weight, I'm just saying the car will not be "streetable". As the brakes will be a little too strong.
Another thing I was looking at was pan/frame fatigue. Unless you go semi-or tube chassis, you might want to look into getting your shell AND pan reinforced as the lateral braking forces will deifnitly put a strain on the thin gauge metal. The Beetles pan/shell wasn't designed for that brutal of a stress. I mean, the forces a motor puts out in terms of twist from the HP/TQ of a motor is FAR LESS than that of 6 pots under full braking force, and you need all sorts of braces/reinforcement for 250HP....
But it's DEFINITLY a sick thing you got going on....just things to think about.
