Got some of his heads from his brother Mikey! Ive also got the parts he was saving for his 2699 mountian motor, the Herbert boys made every "fast" car in OC scared!
Yeah!! Mark Herbert R.I.P. He was my idol of the vw aircooled performance, he still is, actually. This is a well built engine/gearbox combo, not many cars could stand this kind of beating..
Now this dude knows how to drive and handle a Volkswagen. It takes particular skill to drive a Beetle with a swing axel rear end like that. The kind of horsepower that car has doesn't build cheap. Impressive
this is an old video made in cali while testing a quaife differential he had installed. the driver was Mark Herbert and it was filmed on Argosey Street, located in an industrial park in Huntington Beach, he smashed up the a while later racing against a Escort GT.
This was done before drifting was a thing. Mark was truly the enthusiast!! Rip. Does anyone have a picture of the old hot tub that Greg drove in Texas race ? I can’t find one anywhere.
I was lucky to have graduated high school with him and he was always my closest friend until he died. Miss him all the time. We grew up learning the car stuff from the first day he crashed his dads bug into a curb and he had to fix the spindle. Good times.
i have a beetle and i want to change the engine for another more powerfull i would like an air cooled engine to make the less posible modyfications; where i can find an engine about a 2000 cc air cooled?? and somebody knows where i can find help on internet to make all this possible?
sounds great! love to see a bug catching second. i think it may sound a little like a vtek because the rpm's are so high,but lets face it if a vtek had that much torque it would chirp fourth not just second like this car does
Dude I cannot wait until the day I can get another VDub and have that much fun. I used to have a 1974, but blew the motor and just had to get another vehicle.... I miss it so much. What year model is that? Looks around a 65-67 model.
*cop shows up* "was that YOU doing dougnuts in this intersection?" guy in the beetle: uhh, no. im in a vw beetle dude! 0-60 in 5 minutes!" *cop believes him and walks away... *
@beetle1835 me nd my dad is building a 2376cc w/porshe fan nd 48 italian webz..wonder what carz ill run off.:D but right now we got a 1300 with 412 trans w/1st - 4th Attention ppl: i need to find someplace that has the 15" and 17" 5spoke empi wheels with offset..need help.i got adjustable spring plates nd the adjuster rubs againts the tires.had to put on thinner tires but they dont giv good traction around a corner.can anyone giv me a website or sumthin?
I think herbert was runnin' a 2332 48idas if I remember right he was an engle cams fan so I guess a fk87 It looks like a a-1 exhaust from tiger (big turbo muffler) and a berg 5 from mikey at rancho
I downloaded this back in 56k days. That took a long time. Glad someone uploaded it here.
Same dude i got it on a cd somewhere from limewire lol
I remember waiting four….no six….hours waiting for this to download on my dial up connection. It was worth the wait.
This is my favorite video of all time.
Mark Herbert was a genius! Having seen some of the heads he worked on he was as much an artist as a hooligan!
RIP Mr Herbert

This is the best donuts I've seen. Not many beetles do this and that engine sounds great.
From Brasil, my best wishes, i´ve got a beetle too, bestest performance i´ve seen with this machine
I saw this vid back in 2002 before youtube even existed and before most people had even heard of drifting. good to see it again, thanks, youtube.
That, my friend, is the coolest effing thing I've ever seen!
Yeah!! Mark Herbert R.I.P. He was my idol of the vw aircooled performance, he still is, actually. This is a well built engine/gearbox combo, not many cars could stand this kind of beating..
By far the best VW movie ever!!!! Awesome.

He lost it on Cajalco going to Perris California one nite. Rolled and destroyed the car. Ughhhhhh!
every day i think i have seen it all and every day i am proved wrong. can't wait for tomorrow cause it will take something big to top that.
I saw this video so many years ago, maybe ten years ago, great one. that looks like serious fun!
Still an awesome sight after all these years!
German Folks
thats the best vw burnout video ever. excellent driving to.
R.I.P. Mark Herbert
You will be always missed in the VW community!!
I don't need porn. I need this...
Very cool! Greetings from Germany!

@zarour0 Be assured that this is a type 1 vw engine -- 2275cc and a built quaife trans
Cool video just glad you guys did not get the police called on you and a fine for marking up the street. I got two air cooled vw's great cars.
Very nice VW ,and driving skill.
This is a Bug, damn sounds beautiful
Rest easy mark Herbert. 06/09/2006. Crazy its been 12 years since your fatal accident.
Hahaha nice video, that thing is doing donuts by the dozen man!!!
the best of the best.....the genius.....i love vw....
@valcerfabri No. Mark never use posrche engines. Allways aircooled vw flat four.
what kind of engine and mods are done to that bug? cause it sounds mean not like the avarage bug sounds like
This is a cool bug, makes me wanna get one and hook it up just like this one.
Sounds good
Very Cool !
@Myzery97 I can assure you that no honda motor would make that sound only a VW engine makes that noise my friend its all vw power and it kicks ass
it is. I remember this video about 2 years ago. The guy had a list of everything done to it....it was a honda vtec motor.
LOL NOT THIS CAR.
i have a beetle and i want to change the engine for another more powerfull i would like an air cooled engine to make the less posible modyfications; where i can find an engine about a 2000 cc air cooled?? and somebody knows where i can find help on internet to make all this possible?
Thats all IDA's right there buddy!
Shit like this makes it near impossible to even consider a stock rebuild. Haha
My stock rebuild only had 53 horsepower and couldn't do a burnout.
Just a squeak, like tennis shoes on a gym floor, and nothing more.
That is one sweet sounding air cooled motor! B¬)
whoa that thing rips
What year is this beetle im wanting to get one and make it really fast and look good and i love the body style thank you :D
Mannnn he's gettn at faReal!....I like tht. Need sumthn like it in my life!

Where's a cop when ya need one...... Lol. Two thumbs up
sounds great! love to see a bug catching second. i think it may sound a little like a vtek because the rpm's are so high,but lets face it if a vtek had that much torque it would chirp fourth not just second like this car does
Actually a V-tec sounds like this. Cus this is the original Vee Tech!
