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.
I mean it's a VW after all 😊
Cleetus needs to bring this man’s history back at the freedom factory Well crap thank for the responses everyone
At least a meeting of the two fellas
Well Cleet is all about kicking that vans ass lol
It would be pretty epic for the green Gump to do some passes around freedom factory
This car would kick ass at spectator drags
The F.F. was his home track, too.
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.
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
He talked about racing at Desoto which is now the Freedom Factory so he might not be far away from them
@@WowCreativeUsername no he said he moved to colorado
POS import. 🤣🤣🤣
@@asylumentalAh, missed that part.
@@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
As a Volkswagen guy this is super inspiring
We VW guys keep it interesting, both air and H2O haha
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.
@@FuckGoogle502 must be fast
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 🙏
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.
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.
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.
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!! 🙂
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.
Woulda never guessed this would work, but clearly it does! Props to this dude for the amount of work this took! 👏
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
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 a story! Good on you man! Love the innovative thinking and attitude! Very inspiring!!
Babe wake up 1320 video posted another feature on the golf
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!
What an inspiration! Bruce is a legend!
Daam this is truly a awsome build ! Big up to this man
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.
Good for you sir!! I've seen this all over YT. PFI SPEED loves this car. Thanks for sharing 1320 Video!!
What’s a great interview, hearing people with a passion for their project is a joy to listen to!
brilliant effort all the way solving one problem after another,good luck
Legendary build 🔥🔥
What an epic build and history, and so cool seeing the De Soto speedway back in its hey day. Thanks for this!
The fact he can explain this and make a guy like me understand is amazing. Great vid
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.
My favorite car build out there, loved that last line too VW gang ✌️
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! 👍🍻🇺🇲
This guy is like Ironman improving his suit every chance to perfection
Ive always loved this car. I really liked the format this vid. More please.
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.
Thanks 1320. I needed this vid.
What a mad genius! Thinks out of the box and makes stuff happening. What an awesome dude! 😎🤟
Great storey! Amazingly unique car. What a great storey of perseverance and one heckuva engineer! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
GREAT video! Getting the story on this car was an informative and cool thing to watch. Dedication, intuition and wherewithal, nicely done!
Awesome stuff Bruce, keep the faith brother!
this is amazing, cool car, cool story, amazing!
That was an awesome story of all time, very inspiring and passion. Keep that ''FORREST GUMP HIGH''...the best.
BRIGHT GUY , TOO FIGURE ALL THIS STUFF AND MAKE IT WORK 👏👏 RESPECT
This car is incredible the amount of genius and dedication that goes into something like this is amazing!
Love that Bruce is a local at my hometown track. Love seeing this car all the time.
I love this car overall but the looks are great as well. Great job building this monster!
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
Good job dude I will be rooting for you this year as my first and second car was a mk3
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. 🍻
I followed the original build on Vortex years ago. So cool to see this car is still progressing.
Awesome story and video!
you have the true gift of real persistence
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
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
Very unique! Keep on pushing man! Respect
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.
Such a cool story and car. Thanks for sharing.
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 👍
Love the build: Both how clean and how crazy ! Engineers are taking notes....
the golf is incredible !!! I love volks just the feeling they have when you drive one .. nothing is better from what I've drove
Crazy, imaginative build.
This is just insane :D! exhausts on all four corners, a very complicated gear shift arrangement!! man!!
That was awesome. Thanks
So much innovation in this little car always impressed
Awesome project👌🏼
Awesome story! I remember watching the first video with you on it. Now you’re a feature. Looking forward to seeing more
I can’t wait to see that car in this high sixes keep up the good work
Amazing engineering!
Wow! Amazing setup!
great interview
Great mix of "I can do it"... and not a pinch, but fist full of insanity. Good Luck sir!
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
Holy Crap, what a rollercoaster of a trip ! This man it's the living image of "perseverance". Best of luck, Man ! ✊😎👍
such a cool build, this is a really cool idea for a video
Great story loved it a lot of work but hard work 💪 pays off
This guy is a legend
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!
This is definitely one person i very much hope to meet one day🤯🤯🙌🏾
Amazing job🎉
Great video. Thats some determination 👍
This is an amazing build
This dude is a legend.
Another VW enthusiast here in CO, woooo represent!!!
That thing is SICK!
Yessssssssss this man is a vw boss
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.
What a legend. A true car guy just trying to go fast! Love it.
Awesome job
1320 y'all rock! Peace ✌️
Just one word, LEGEND!
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.
Wow Bruce’s research and problem solving is just as impressive as the car. Awesoke story
What a guy!! Awesome story👍
I loved it awesome content
This guy is so awesome. Amazing car.
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!
Sir def got my respect
Wow...quite a matter of fact guy. Very clever person...an engineer ❤
