A VW Beetle sweeps the eighth mile

Unusual, a Volkswagen Beetle giving "wax" to an entire Mustang that possibly mounts a V8 mechanic. We are in an eighth mile race, with a short but exciting straight ahead; the acceleration is brutal, so much so that our little "little boy" rears up and throws his front wheels into the air ... How could something like this happen?

The explanation is more or less simple. On one side of the ring Californians from kadie shack, owners of the Beetle, who have prepared it thoroughly; and it is that components are not lacking, since they are specialists in VW water cooled or air-cooled. And they are also very well assembled, you just have to look at the speed of the transmission and the gear change, the immense torque available and the decision with which the Beetle face the challenge.

On the other side of the ring a Ford Mustang Convertible fourth generation (1994-2004) with what is possibly a 8-liter (4.6-cubic-inch) V281 engine with between 225 and 260 hp. Neither its probable state of series, nor the rigidity of its frame, nor the decaffeinated mechanics advise the feat, but there it is, ready to fight. The flag falls and you have no choice but to follow our classic badass with a certainly heavy rhythm ...
