Chassis and engine are beetle, every beetle I've every built (for myself) can drive 90mph all day long.
The only thing I don't like about ghias is they are hard to lower properly. I find if you lower beetles 2-3" it totally wakes up the handling. Add good power and you have a poor mans 9-elebin.

My newest creation will have a 901 transmission and a type 4 engine, all the hard work is done, I just need to finish putting it together.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
