I raced it at Heathcote for the VL nationals with being full weight with exhaust and all just with 28x9 slicks , then I raced a street car shootout up here in QLD with radials 9.10@157, If a car has rego and is driven on the street to me that's a street car if not go buy a daewoo thats awesome ! good luck to anyone aiming for that , quite the task .... again well done !

Interesting debate this, different people have different opinions, My opinion is a car that is ( in qld) mod plated for all mods, radial tyres, even if they are only dot approved, ive been pulled over a few times, and let go every time. A car thats roadworthy, and a car that is not only "able to be street driven, but is regularly street driven. Im not sure on these other cars as i havnt had a closer look, I know that pvl 383 is a sick car know with the tubo setup, as was sherrif. I also know that my best effort to date is an 8.85 @156, exactly how i drive it on the street( exept for chute which i dont use anyway), Drive to the track and back, full exhaust, pump e85, street radials, full air filter, full trim. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

So is sherif the fastest rb30 vl on radials?

i had gone 8.41 at 161mph with what i would call a full street vl.. full exhaust, full trim.. all that ****... car was regoed.. i drove it on the street shortly after the engine got rebuilt after breaking it after that pass whilst at cv.. so i drove it as i raced it with the chute on... less slicks and race fuel... ohhh hold on.. C16 was in it when i drove it around id call a street car anything that can go for a wrap for more than 40kms.. slicks, fuel, tubs, cage, rego.... get 40km's out of it without banging it or getting arrested and its a street car! An et radial would help an auto vl e.t and mph anyway... they track heaps better and vl's generally leave soft at the tree.. like mine did Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I know thats why my car doesnt et, i cant get it off the line, and 60 ft is et. Whats 60's does yours do with slicks? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

8.45@ best mph,164 Et streett radials

I've gone 8.9@153, single cam, pump e85, no tubs.
