Can't work out scary nor awesome! Best sleeper I've seen so far. I thought the handling would be scary with those tyres/suspension but not too bad!

I like that too, being "chunky" though it looks odd from the rear as it looks so small. I prefer the Carina they posted a few weeks ago; http://high-top-fade.blogspot.jp/2012/10/blog-post...

Personal taste I guess, I quite like it. In fairness though, it probably needs a decent size footprint to put 900 brake through.

does this cut it ?





The wheels and paint are hideously poor choices - put it back to a 50s paint shade and put some 'sympathetic' wheels on it and it would be amazing tho.

It looks awesome in the metal, and goes like fk too.
it was camping near us in maison blanche a few years ago.

The tyres are fine, per se, it's just the wheels are an inch or so too wide just for the sake of it.

Other than that and the bucket exhaust, that could be a cracker.

The CSP VW Type 34. It has a magnesium-blocked 500bhp VW 2165cc engine running 8.8s quarter-mile @156mph.

Love type 34s and love the modern paint scheme on an old car.

Thats a very nice Razor Edge and as you say, the colour scheme really suits it too. Impressive figures.

One thing I have never really got about the drag racing air cooled VWs. It seems they always have the fan and tinware removed.
Is there any other measure to assist cooling other than airflow of the car when driving. Surely the engine is very prone to over-heating. Is it just a one run and sit the car up to fully cool before hammering it again?
