Very impressive. Clearly the fastest splitty on the planet. I remember
there were very quick Volksie buses with Corvair flat 6 engines
(Volksvairs) some years ago but nothing like that. However, they did
manage to shoehorn the 6 into the engine compartment so the buses still
looked quite conventional.
These days the common swap seems to be to drop Subaru motors into the
Vanagons (the later style VW bus). A friend has one and says it has
twice the power and gets better gas mileage.

When I was in college I worked for a summer at the Boardwalk in Santa
Cruz. A 12 year old had a job picking up trash on the beach, and told
me about his (father's) VW bus that would do 120MPH, in the quarter
mile. My reaction was to think "yeah, I was 12 once too".
This is the successor to that bus, his father took the original with
him when he moved to Nevada.
