fark. needs wings and its set

This new setup is definately good for quicker passes that was with standard rear end geometry and with just the addition of a 9 inch and coilovers, at the time im pretty sure it was the fastest 10 inch tyred car in the world! it was raced with just under 1000rwhp not the 14-1500hp it is making now

needs a runway to even get it to 2nd lol

Cars are built to do specific tasks. Drag or Dyno or whatever. To be top of the class in both catergories, in one car, you need completly different setups which makes it a massive ask. VL's are light and powerful so are big contenders on the strip, but on the same token will not compete on the top end of the dyno, because they aren't built for that. So to say that dyno monsters like tryhard and the "1895" hp car cannot "put down their power effectivly??? they CAN on the dyno which they were built for!! To ask that they "prove" themselves and run times on the strip is like asking VL's to challenge them on the dyno..... not gonna happen... Originally Posted by benjipsi TRYHRD is a supreme machine..... but has nothin on a highly worked VLCT I agree what a toss, no comparison.

tassone ran 176mph with Gt3540's or modified 3540's Looks like he has another 600hp worth of compressor flow there now..scary cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

there actually turbonetics turbo's which i have just claimed for my vr Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I love VLs and all, but they're not the fastest or well built cars on the road. TRYHRD and this ute, are both excellent pieces of Automotive machinery and deserve alot more respect.

Thats ****ing sick, I think you need to get something like that going in ELA-RE aye aye...

To ask that they "prove" themselves and run times on the strip is like asking VL's to challenge them on the dyno In all honesty and no offence to anyone, VLTs are **** at the track. Sure they may run as quick as 8s, but they sit spooling for 5+ seconds, so doesnt that theoretically make it a 13sec car . Ive yet to see a VLT run heads up with another car, its a joke. I cant understand why they dont use nitrous to spool the **** up and leave on the green, its not that hard. The whole point of drag racing, is just that, racing another car, its not a time trial As far as "dyno monsters" not being able to race and cant prove themselves like VLs on the track, i bet you these "dyno queens" wont be spooling the **** up for over 5secs And yea, those turbos would look nice in my engine bay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

in my words put that engine in a vl calais shell and you will have the fastest vl in the land, ie make it a drag car that is. who cares about figures on a dyno, they wow people who probably drive volvos also that is a v8, not a straight six, so the ability to get more air in and out is why they dont compete with the rb30et

The whole point of drag racing, is just that, racing another car, its not a time trial Technically, the timer doesn't start, until the cars go over the line. So they could sit there for about 10 minutes and still pull a 9 second pass. I've seen plenty of VLTs, destroy V8s and other cars, down the strip. Also it's just another way, of giving the other cars a head start. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

at the end of the day power means nothing if you cant use it to its full potential... but **** id love to go for a ride to see how it went! Steve

Geez, i never knew the time didnt start till they go over the line, thanks for that It seems you didnt get my point...... Yes they may "destroy" other cars with the times they run, but in heads up racing, VLTs are ***n ****. By the time they have spooled up, the other car is already halfway down the track. In some cases, the other car has almost finished its run by the time the VLT has spooled. And maybe thats the reason why there arent many tough VLTs in proper competitions, because they will be knocked out in the first round due to the bloody spooling time Again, it called "DRAG RACING" not "TIME TRIAL" Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

LOL members on here are biased. We're talking about big, fast drag type cars. Spool time is rediculous with only 3L, face it.

Thats right, we are talking about heads up racing between two drag cars, not between a 13sec VY SS and a 9sec VLT. A race between a 9sec rotor and a 9sec VLT, the rotor will win everytime. Why? Because the VLT will be sitting there spooling the bloody thing up while the rotor would already be half track. Again, i cant understand why all these VLT drag cars dont use nitrous to spool the bloody things up. The guys running auto Supras in the U.S use it to great effect, cant understand why they dont do it here.

i guess they think its "cool" to wait a minute for the turbo to spool then jet off, the time is still ran sure, but get them into bracket racing and they'll lose to a camira what do u expect with a puny 3 litres of displacement, hence this section was made so we can be bias Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

9 second VLT head to head with a 9 Second Nitrous assisted SBC, heads up racing, the SBC would romp it!

I agree i find it very dissapointing to watch big power turbo cars still stalling it up for a few seconds after the green.... it just doesn't seem to be in the spirit of the sport, but hey i guess the idea is the run the quickest time between point A and B and that's the best way to do it.
