We are talkin about this car and his plates, not other 8s.....lol Im sure it ran that time in race trim too with slicks, dropped pipes and air filter off too. Probably a mid 12 second car on the street. Do you know what MPH it ran with that pass? Not here to argue I said it was fast but would not be that quick on the street. Now get back down off your V8 high horse fella................ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate, most 11 or 10sec VLTs are actually 15-16sec cars........they sit there spooling up for like 5sec!!! While they are spooling, the other car is already half way down the track!! Sorry i couldnt resist Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh and you ever been to the 4, 6 and Rotor shootout? No delayed launches there..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

constant power and torque

power burnouts from idle to redline not from 2500rpm+ to redline both have pros and cons but most guys go from turbo 3L to v8 for the pure reason of being streetable and having torque where it counts cant forget the sound of a v8 as a big factor to why some go for one! Steve Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cant forget the constant fuel consumption either!!!

I love the Turbos and the V8's! I love the lump and roar of a V8 but I dont like the cops pulling me over in my XA GT, and I dont like it overheating and I dont like the fact that it chews in one day what my VL will do i two weeks! I love em but they are bitches on the street especially with solid setups! But hey thats whats fun about it! And back on the point again eat30l is a beatiful car but he is a complete **** why go to all that effort, then leave the stock horn and over flow bottles in the engine bay??? Its a real shame he has spent all that money and has a dirty horn sitting there!

^^^LOL!^^^ Thats gold...dirty horn hey?
