The Official Holden Figures are... 0-60Kms: 4.6 Seconds 0-100Kms: 9.6 Seconds Now I don't know if this is in an Auto or Manual but I know it is an N/A, I've read this on various Holden Magazine Advertisments from the 80s... I can get 0-60Kms in 5.3 Seconds, so I'm happy considering mine is Stock and running pretty poorly at the moment... And yes I did test it fairly... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mine vlt got a 15.087 @ 91 mph with no ovious mods. the motor had been rebuilt so it may be moded in some way. i can't really explain it. Or it could be just because of my expert driving skils ...... NOT!!!

Honestly what is wrong with producing a timeslip???? But there could be a simple explanation such as the head being shaved, ported and polished when it cracked back in 1990. Which I have found out is why my NA car is quicker than usual too.

It was so long ago since I had a stock VLt, crikey, but from memory, at heathcote I was running stock boost and the best I did was a 14.9 But I did have the exhaust off at the cat. with 10psi and the exhaust off I did a 14.39 best. Raced at Ravenswood with the same mods and the best I could do was a 14.5 Then things got a little more fun, finally down to a 13.4 @ 102mph There are freak engines though, people used to think that I had done more to mine because I had 193rwkws on a standard T3. But I would be hugely ompressed to see an NA auto run a 15.15!! cheerz morepsi

Well once upon a time there was a nice little white car with the plates JVL87. One day the car made its presence at a well renowned drag strip by the name of Willowbank Raceway. Upon staging his car, Jay looked over his right shoulder to be greeted by Ogre who was giving him a narky little smile (thinking he was goin to blow the all mighty N/A away). This was just after Rob, aka my88vl made a really good call, "Jay really knows how to pull a burnout." Anyway to get to the point.. Ogre got beaten a few times, NA win. Turbo lose ! bye Ollie :mrgreen:
