A true testament to the beetles handling is when Sport compact Car had their utimate street car challenge. In just the handling department there were two beetles, one a full race standard with wider rims and fenders and the other a super with new shocks and a performance anti-sway bars. The full race standard took 2nd place over all and the near stock Super took 2nd in the slolom? course... I think the WRX was in 7th place...

The Super had a 1641 w/ Kadrons, and the suspension wasn't anything to crazy, The cars it was up against were quite the machines too. A couple of tuned RX-7's, 914-6, I think there was a Cosworth Escort, the WRX,...
Pillow is on the money, in capable hand a rear engined car is very effective on the track. Nick

I don't remember what issue it was in it was years ago... I'll see if my friend remembers when he bought the magazine, it was also available on tape/DVD at the time.
