That should work Looking at your pics makes me realize once again what drag racing does to components...

Mark,
257 km/h is sort of crazy in a beetle on the highway/autobahn. I recalculated and that is 251 km/h, which is close enough. Crazy...how does his stay stable for that? He runs less aero then I do, but his car is also less wide, so maybe that helps some to gain the speed. Still, over 250 km/h is wow!
Actually,he has no aerodynamic "helper" whatsoever. A fairly standard suspension up front with Bilstein(?) gas shocks,beam supports and Rememle´s uniball rear suspension with stock steel trailing arms.Maybe he sits a little lower to the ground than you due to the 15" wheels? The car was very stable,felt like we were doing 130-150Km/h.
