Sure lots of it was donated but that doesn't change the prices that Sinister quoted. We've basically followed along three different paths with the car. 1) See what we could get out of it stock 2) See what we could get out of it NA 3) See what we can get with a basic turbo set-up Hey if I was forking out all the coin for the car with nothing donated at all it would be quicker still because I would have bought a ball bearing turbo, external gate, forgies etc. At the moment it runs 11.9 at 114.7mph and we haven't finished yet, that's not bad for a car we took from stock NA (barely running) to a turbo screamer that's a real street weapon. You should have seen the look on this guys face the other day, he had a mid-12 XR6 tubo BA ute and I caned his arse in 40 degree heat. You can get a VN to perform there is no doubt about that, however that being said, unless it was a Calais in good condition/or has the capabilities of mine, I wouldn't be spending $5000 to buy a VN V6.
