Still have a stock engine in my "cal looker", but you don't need massive power to have fun, right?

Haha. Nah, it takes a bit more than that to flip it. It actually handled surprisingly well, considering the rather extreme situation. Very stable and controllable Smiley

NICE car control.

I remember autocrossing a Beetle of mine on a banked oval with cones. In the pouring rain. On the right side was a concrete wall. On the left side was a ditch. Every time you would come down and round one of the lower cones, the rear end would kick out, and it was so much fun. Ditto for the upper cones, but scarier due to the concrete barrier  Shocked 

You look like you were having fun.
