beetle motor, porsche name....win in my book. those motors will last FOREVER and can be quite quick if you add the right parts to it. The body looks great and has that old school porsche appeal. Ive seen a few around the road course with updated brakes off some of the newer cars and with adjustable suspension components that really were very fast.
a neighbor owned one back when i lived with my father and i remember him putting away from his house every saturday morning at like 6am for the local car show. It was a lime green color, cool as hell to me at the time and still holds a place as one of the first porsche cars i saw.
From what I've heard, the one's that are regularly open tracked have firewall cracking issues.... Other than that, I think they're neat little cars....
