OK, here is something off the wall. From Aug edition of Hot Rod. VWs (Type 4s, one supposes) that hit (and tear up) the drag strip. 500 to 600 HP. Don't know if you can read the print in these jpgs, but that red top-chopped bug has a 633 HP mill inside, and turns 9.3 in the 1/4 mile, and he drives it around town. The article also has a bug at 2227 cc that puts out 620 HP, they say, clocked at 8.55 sec and 164 mph. It's sort of like being rich: no matter how rich you are, there is always somebody richer. Also, there is a Ghia pictured, normally aspirated, 2497 cc at 300 HP.
