Jeez
I wouldn't want to get into assymetric thrust situation on that puppy - you'd drill yourself into the ground.
BTW - don't want to be a killjoy but there is no way that beetle is street legal

Minor question 'bout the Beetle... where does the engine get the air to run from ? The cabin ????
Now I'm no jet engine engineer, but surely on full throttle, or even idle it will cause one hell of a -ve pressure wave in the front seats as it vacuums the air out.
Leave the windows closed and you've got a problem !!!
