Is that the bug built on Monster Garage? I remember them making a VW drag Bug. It looks similar if it isn't it...

The one against the Mustang is in the Uk (?)
This one requires clearance....and a glass floor.

those drag bugs can be outragious. The aircooled Vdub is one of the original sport compacts and is one of the very first to go dragracing. They have been laying the hurt on american muscle for decades.
The Type 2 Transporter (also known as the "bus") is just sick. I would love to know more about it.

Type 3 was one of the fastbacks. If it has two 7 inch headlights, it was a type3. If it had quad 5 1/2s it was a type4.
My 1974 Superbeetle had a porsche 914 engine in the back of it. 2.0 with dual 40mm webers and a cam so hot it would not idle below 1200rpms and when it did, it sounded like a Harley. Car would spit flame out the exhaust on both acceleration and overrun and would occasionally pop flame out the carbs when revved hard.
Sick little car, I am sorry I never took it to the track (never raced it at all for that matter) but it did teach me a LOT about oversteer. I warned the guy I bought it from about how tail happy it could be, but he bought it for his nephew anyway. I saw the car off and on for a couple of months and then it vanished. I found out later the kid backed it into a tree at a high rate of speed (I did warn him!)

Type 3 Fast back:
A nicely dropped Type 3 Variant (Squareback as they are often called)
And these are the Type 4.. referred to by VW as the 411
As for a guestimate.. I am going to say that bug that left the mustang stalled.. probably did an 12 second pass. Not too shabby for a car that was designed before WWII
