Yup..

0-60 mph : 6.9 sec.(manual)
0-¼ mile : 15.2 sec @ 91.6 mph(manual)



You actually have a good chance if you know how to drive. The cars are about equal stock for stock. If you have a CAI and tune and can drive... you win..

But as others have said... I wouldn't race my girlfriend. You don't want her reminding you all the time if you lost... and she will pull some passive aggressive crap on you or your car if you win. Either way you lose.

haha thanks guys, im pretty sure i would win...but to some of the guys advice im not going to race her, it would be a lose lose situation...and i dont need that right now...all i need to know is that i COULD beat her if i wanted to. Ima tellher "so i looked up the numbers and it looks like your car would win in a race, but my backseat is bigger " haha thanks for the help guys

I dont care if the Bug does a 1/4 in like 12 seconds.

Its still a Bug. You win on style points alone.

Unless you do race and beat her,,,,, then you lose.

The turbo bug is not that fast...it hasa 4 cylinder 1.8 turbo engine with a lot of potential , but stock for stock you should have no problem at all
