The V6anagon is built for maneuverability (fore-and-aft as well as
side-to-side), not for speed, Joe. Nicest thing is, not having to
worry about whether I'm pushing it too hard, as I constantly worry
about with my '71.

Fact is, it's no faster than a typical V6 minivan. Slower, in fact,
since the tranny is geared fairly low for the original engine. But
when you say "go", it says "How fast?", instead of "Who, me?". A nice
change.   :^)
