I wonder how that engine compares to the weight of the original boxer. If it's any heavier, that car would handle like a 911 driven by an angry drunk guy.

Too bad Beetles have super-high cD's (wikipedia refers to a source saying it's in the neighborhood of .48), because that 23hp would be able to propel a more slippery car to higher speeds.
