You may be suprised what 200HP will do in a well preped beetle. big and more is not always better.

We have a customers at our shop that has a 700HP Porsche 911 twin turbo (on a sc and late 80's carrera chassis w/993 bodywork)... thats wicked fast, im talking **** your pants fast. but the thing is that the whole package dosent work. even with the 19" wheels with 335/35 R19 tires and uprated suspention the chassis is STREEESSED OUT... and no fun to drive other than in a straight line, it dosent even make it a good track car unless you can go 180-200mph a lot of the time.

If you want to do mundo HP with big wheels...ect you need the whole package to work together, the suspention needs to suport the wheels and brakes, and all that needs a strong chassis to back it up
