Super came with 1600 cc stock which again is a 1500 enlarged. Weightwize, the struts on the Sb made it lighter than the torsionbar in the front. I had a carbed unit.

The Super beetle never came with the 1200. Bear in mind the 'Super' is a heavier car than the standard 1200. I know there wasn't a great deal of difference in power between the two but I think the smaller engine would have to work harder to move your 'Bug'. Bigger doesn't always mean more gas! Power to weight is more important. I think the 1500 engine may be better in this instance….
