I don't know what you have to do to get a Beetle in the mid 11's, but I do know that before they started making factory cars with over 500HP the last 10 years or so, unless you did a ton of work to a full size V8 powered car, the 11's were usually not happening...  I spent quite a few nights at Atco watching full sized cars that were trailered in... and watched most run high 13's or worse. 

I did have a friend that had a V8 Vega that ran 10.77 at 127 mph, and I wouldn't have felt safe taking a ride to the nearest Wawa in it....  Too much duct tape and zipties for me.
