Beetle Vs Msp

I have seen a lot of comparisions to VW's but nothing directly comparing the MSP to the new VW Beatle with the turbo. Just wondering. I haven't heard a lot about the Beatle, and just wondering how it compares.

this link should offer up a comparison.

The turbo S with the six speed might offer some stiff competition, but the turbo 1.8T will probably not.

Car and Driver stats on New Beetle Turbo 1.8T; 150 hp

In stock form, the MSP should be able to beat the beetle in acceleration. The MSP will outhandle the beetle all day long. However the Beetle's 1.8T engine can handle much more turbo boost than the MSP engine. You can put an APR stage II or III turbo upgrade on the beetle and it will blow away the MSP.

Like Captain KRM P5 said, the new turbo S beetle will probably be a close contender to the MSP in stock form.

oh my god....some posted this in the right section

THANK YOU!

Back to the topic, anyone notice how many little things on the BEETLE are like a complete rip off of the MP3?

Well, since I don't have and MSP or a Beatle, but I have seen some 1.8t beatle around, (no msp, only one mp3) then I figured if anyone cared to know, and I was just wondering, the best place for it would be in the offtopic, because it realy didn't have a topic. Unless some started a comparison topic area.

Guys it's BEETLE (not Beatle).

But yeah, a turbo beatle shouldn't won't have a chance against an MSP with a good driver.

At no time did I say I would be responcible for the correct spelling and grammer of myself or any other individual on this board.

Thanks though, I hate looking like a moron that cant spell.
