The Beetle to get is Turbo RS-R with the 341hp twinturbo flat 6 and AWD. It comes with a 7-speed manual and 2-speed rear end to tackle the Pikes Peak. Watch out for the engine substitution for the ultra-reliable Subaru flat-6 as the original engine is prone to leaking mineral oil from the power steering pump into the transfer case. Those with original engine fetch more money as the owners likely have spent a small fortune into the misfortune engine.
As far as wheels, Ronal Bear is ultra cute but it's 14" but it's lighter but it's so rare (I know, right?). Daisy wheels are stronger and it's 17", which, if my math is correct, is like 3i inches more than the Bear. My friend told me that 3i inches have made all the difference in the world, that it makes the world better, world peace, etc. But, what the heck she knows *rolls eyes*.
Anyway, back to the wheels. I heard that some supercars had staggered setup. I think it would be totally cool to have a staggered setup in the Beetle SR-S. You see, the Ronal Bear is 14" and the Daisy is 17", this way the Beetle can have the supercar stance (I know, right?) for a fraction of the cost. Now I can't remember whether the 14" Bear go to the front or to the back? But you're supposed to use the same size wheels for the same side. No, wait, maybe they need to alternate, like, if you put the Bear on the front on this side, the other side would be the Daisy. That way you can totally double up the cool and the cute.
The nice thing about the wheels is since you would buy a Porsche, they would totally fit the Porsche too since I heard this one guy in chatbox bought a Porsche and people called it a Beetle. Oh wait, or was it an Audi? Audi TeeTs maybe? IDK, those cars confuse me. They all look alike. I know, right?
Anyway, when you have bought the car, please take many many selfies of the car. I heard that people got shunned for not showing pictures of their cars in here especially for a car as cool as a Beetle RR-R. Good luck with the purchase.
