Default Turbo bug

Hey what do those things run in the 1/4 and/or 0-60 sec...? I lined up next to one today at a light while in my GT. I had to get over ahead of the bug so I could make the next turn right. Dude didn't try and stop me (although he did start off faster than the usual car would).... at least I hope he wasn't.... . I heard a whine coming from the car as it rolled off from the light. I was just wondering about the performance on those little gay cars....

Here is what their ad says

"Turbo S" brings 180 Horsepower and Flare
of a True Sports Car to the New Beetle Family


Brawny
Turbo S accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 7.4 seconds;capable of reaching an electronically governed top speed of 130 mph and employs a speed activated rear spoiler that helps maintain rear-end stability at very high speeds.
