Well, not quite that fast, but it went 117,3 mph (real, digitally clocked) with the 2 ltr and was still reasonably stable at that point.
Maybe you can also get some idea's of the car from dr. Jozef Gerold, when he last competed in the Käfer Cup series in Germany.
Doing s/th with the floor pan is still the best idea since it will not 'spoil' the looks of your Oval.

Good luck,
