What's also amazing, is that Bruce's solution to every problem is to over-engineer the system to near-perfection, and it's just stunning how every next iteration is more and more technically impressive.

That Volkswagen is seriously one of the coolest race built cars in the world. I agree with the other commenter, cleetus needs to do a collaboration with this guy

@@asylumental Why would You suggest any collaboration of Bruce Morehouse with Garrett Mitchell, Cleetus McFarland Racing ??!! Bruce is clearly far above them within racing, knowledge, building his custom vehicle ! Bruce is clearly focused upon more serious racing and not antics. Perhaps Brent, Jaime PFI Speed could be some help and certainly within Colorado; If they do not already have connections. All The Best, Sincerely

This could have easily been a multi-part series, but had to wrap up years of struggles in 25 minutes. Definitely an inspiration and a lesson in persistence. Thanks.

As a Volkswagen guy this is super inspiring

We VW guys keep it interesting, both air and H2O haha

I envy folks like Bruce who have the creativity, drive, willpower, patience, and expertise to be able to pull something crazy like this off. Mad props, as a fellow VW enthusiast.

This car never fails to remind me of the "silliest" VW I ever saw online. Back..maybe 20 years or more, someone posted a green old Scirocco (Mk1 or 2?) from a European car magazine. The car was gutted, caged and had two superbike motors in the hatch, one driving each wheel (somehow linked via throttle management?). I believe they may have even been Hayabusa motors. But picture a 1500-1600 pound Scirocco with 11-13,000 RPM at the rear wheels. If you dig really hard you can find one blurry picture of it from an old VwVortex post...but the car has never left my mind. Just sounds like an absolute hilarious thing to build/drive.

The magazine is called VW scene, that car was so loud the driver had to wear ear protection

What you just said is that the car is capable of spinning the rear wheels at 6,800 miles per hour, based on a 225/75R15.

Hey bro how much you make on the dyno? 11-13,000 RPM at the wheels 😎

The first video of the Golf they showed from 5 years ago, I got to see in person. I was at Bandimere Speedway in Colorado. I was there with my dad who was driving the Rainmaker WRX (which was featured on TRC). He mentioned there was a Golf with TWO ENGINES! It was an amazing day. One ill never forget. Thank you guys for that 🙏

What a brilliant guy. He’s determined to do what HE wants and not follow the crowd. I’m playing with my own stuff and people like this are a real inspiration. Reminds me of Allen millyard in the uk with his motorbikes. Top dude.

Such a recognizable machine. Image + performance = appreciation.

This guy is a legend. Great story. I love his ingenuity and persistence.

A wayyy cool fella. Loved listening to him detail all the struggles he encountered AND how he came to resolutions for each. All we can say is WOWZER!! 🙂

Woulda never guessed this would work, but clearly it does! Props to this dude for the amount of work this took! 👏

This gets me thinking about, if he has a kid, how significant it will be for him to pass this down to them one day. At that point you're not getting a car that your Dad owned. You're getting the physical manifestation of decades worth of his life. Aspects of himself are ingrained into the very core of this vehicle. Very few things in life today are able to compare to that.

Met Bruce at one of the last Bandimere test and tunes. Super nice dude. Seeing this car in person is absolutely mental. My head hurt as he was explaining the engineering behind it.

This was a killer video 1320.. This dude kicks ass^^. The end where he explains the break-shit point of the rear engine… Dude sends it. Solid material.

YESSS!!! I absolutely love this insane build! Have since it was first featured. Long time fan of 1320. Thanks to the builder for coming on!

Let’s goooo dude this car is legendary in my books first time it showed up on the channel. Madness to high degree

Good for you sir!! I've seen this all over YT. PFI SPEED loves this car. Thanks for sharing 1320 Video!!

This man is a legend in the car game and to do most of the work himself shows why he is pulling the times he does the car and the driver is one great story.

That rear suspension design is awesome, I'm excited to see how it works! It's been so cool seeing this car change over time, thanks for capture the story for all of us to enjoy! Unreal work Bruce

What a story! Good on you man! Love the innovative thinking and attitude! Very inspiring!!

My favorite car build out there, loved that last line too VW gang ✌️

This is so rad to see our products used like this! Car is rowdy!

This is the truest deffinition of a hot rodder. Building and building a car to just keep making it better.

That was an awesome story of all time, very inspiring and passion. Keep that ''FORREST GUMP HIGH''...the best.

Babe wake up 1320 video posted another feature on the golf

What an inspiration! Bruce is a legend!

Daam this is truly a awsome build ! Big up to this man

Awesome story,bloke and machine! The devotion,development and it’s change’s over the years at this this level is something anyone could be proud of! It blew my mind though the fact it’s been through so much with an open diff!

Legendary build 🔥🔥

Awesome ingenuity! I personally admire how Bruce thinks outside the box and perseveres through every challenge. I hope to see more of this car in the near future.

Actually Bruce clearly drew from others to develop his unique VW, VR12, "Forrest Gump" drag racing vehicle along with his earlier mini, circle track VW racing vehicle. This is not actually 'outside the box' thinking, rather applying proper thinking, assistance from other with proper knowledge, thus implementing these together within his unique VW.

What an epic build and history, and so cool seeing the De Soto speedway back in its hey day. Thanks for this!

Love these longer format stories - thank you for adding this series and I'm looking forward to enjoying these for a long time, hopefully you keep these going!❤

What’s a great interview, hearing people with a passion for their project is a joy to listen to!

this is amazing, cool car, cool story, amazing!

brilliant effort all the way solving one problem after another,good luck

This man deserves a Guinness World Record for being the most patient person dealing with a VW. My hero. Onlyy truue volkswagoneer knows what he is talking about

This is just insane :D! exhausts on all four corners, a very complicated gear shift arrangement!! man!!

The journey this guy has had is amazing. Thank you 1320 for giving him a dedicated video. I hope you keep following him because he is the epitome of what racing is. Awesome! 👍🍻🇺🇲

GREAT video! Getting the story on this car was an informative and cool thing to watch. Dedication, intuition and wherewithal, nicely done!

This guy is like Ironman improving his suit every chance to perfection

Awesome stuff Bruce, keep the faith brother!

Love that Bruce is a local at my hometown track. Love seeing this car all the time.

The fact he can explain this and make a guy like me understand is amazing. Great vid

Awesome story and video!

Ive always loved this car. I really liked the format this vid. More please.

Love the build: Both how clean and how crazy ! Engineers are taking notes....

Awesome story! I remember watching the first video with you on it. Now you’re a feature. Looking forward to seeing more

Thanks 1320. I needed this vid.

I love this car overall but the looks are great as well. Great job building this monster!

Very unique! Keep on pushing man! Respect

Loved this thing in your original feature video on it and its great to see its only gotten even better 💪💪 can’t wait to see it out on the track again

Such a cool story and car. Thanks for sharing.

Great storey! Amazingly unique car. What a great storey of perseverance and one heckuva engineer! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

What a mad genius! Thinks out of the box and makes stuff happening. What an awesome dude! 😎🤟

Great mix of "I can do it"... and not a pinch, but fist full of insanity. Good Luck sir!

i just noticed, DeSoto speedway is now freedom factory! its cool to see that little clip of DeSoto @ 1:54 of a race in the 90s, now its been revived to its former glory and then some. it would be cool seeing bruce at the freedom factory and then drag race with good ole cleet at the drag strip.

I remember watching the Volkswagen Wabbits racing back in the late 70’s and early 80’s at Mid Ohio and thought they were so cool watching them go around the corner lifting a rear tire in the air. To think about what effort you have put into this car is amazing and how far the technology has come over the decades. 🍻

Iv like this car for a long time and im so glad I watched this and got they best story of one of the craziest cars. He can’t be stopped

BRIGHT GUY , TOO FIGURE ALL THIS STUFF AND MAKE IT WORK 👏👏 RESPECT

So much innovation in this little car always impressed

the golf is incredible !!! I love volks just the feeling they have when you drive one .. nothing is better from what I've drove

This car is incredible the amount of genius and dedication that goes into something like this is amazing!

I can’t wait to see that car in this high sixes keep up the good work

Adding the duel electric the is awesome! He needs to add them into traction control so he can make each engine work based on its traction limit!

Good job dude I will be rooting for you this year as my first and second car was a mk3

Love this Twin-engine Golf since i watched that first video. So great to know the driver and car's story, evolution, updates and upgrades

Holy Crap, what a rollercoaster of a trip ! This man it's the living image of "perseverance". Best of luck, Man ! ✊😎👍

This is an amazing story of successes, you never failed, you just learned more! I think this is the most badass VW ever built, totally love the green too! I know the struggles of dialing in 2 engines, My Smart fortwo Dual engine is a bear to drive, trying to balance both torque curves while driving is a challenge. I have a dial on the steering wheel to adjust the front up or down on the fly. Throttle by wire on both engines is the only way to go.

Great video. Thats some determination 👍

I followed the original build on Vortex years ago. So cool to see this car is still progressing.

Definitely know Bill Schimmel. Back when he worked for Impo Performance. When he had his Corrado. Dude was a bit off his rocker. Haha

Another VW enthusiast here in CO, woooo represent!!!

Wow! Amazing setup!

That was awesome. Thanks

I had a 8v Jetta with all it's 90hp in use. Daymn those days. And also the 15" Kicker subs were Pioneer 10".

Shoutout for dude linking Hanksvile Hotrods...Sooner or later everybody needs some help along the way. Big props for shouting out the guys along the way dude!

such a cool build, this is a really cool idea for a video

Crazy, imaginative build.

What a guy!! Awesome story👍

Wow Bruce’s research and problem solving is just as impressive as the car. Awesoke story

One of my favorites cars to watch make a pass. Gonna miss seeing it at Bandimere. Guess i will have to make the trio to tx2k. Amzing car and awesome guy to talk to, always willing to answer questions.

great interview

This was me back in the days. I had many built 16v's, mk2's, Rocco's, etc. then got into the VR, swapped many into mk2. Love them, not just for the sound, but the torque. Big turbo like a 35R and up on a VR definitely needs hardened straight cut gears in the trans. 3rd loves to shear from all the torque in general. Been there 👍

Great story loved it a lot of work but hard work 💪 pays off

This dude is a legend.

Amazing job🎉

As a lifelong VW enthusiast, I feel a strong kinship with this guy.

you have the true gift of real persistence

This is definitely one person i very much hope to meet one day🤯🤯🙌🏾

That thing is SICK!

1320 y'all rock! Peace ✌️

Awesome project👌🏼

I love that the speed shop was onboard with his plan. All too often you come across people in the business tell you 'nyah don't bother, just do this or that' related to things that already exists and kits that are out there. Them accepting the challenge though is a way of pushing the envelope further from what is already known (and to a certain extent tried and proven) and push it to new areas and forms that wouldn't be reached through conventional means. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but speed shops like that can change history :D

cool story with awesome golf! keep runnin!

Amazing engineering!

Awesome job

My favorite vw build. Dude is a genius to build most that himself.

This is an amazing build
