Maybe he was inspired by the Baja Bugs?

Ok after seeing that picture that got me thinking, I see tons of bugs that are modded here in San Diego (yes including the engine swap ones)

I am surprised that he isnt able to get passed by the DMV, he must be pushing the wrong buttons at the DMV.

Has a 928 engine ever been put in a bug? Now that would be cool. Maybe just a 16 valve. Of course the whole cooling thing could be a challenge.

In Green Bay is a Bug with a big block Olds Toronado drivetrain. It's parked next to a heavily modified 928

It's balanced very well, was used for auto crossing.
