Quiet frankly, I honestly am not in a position to have an arguement over this very topic. Truth be told I have been in enough arguments over this forum to last a decade Lets just hope people on this site grow up and have more than a one-sided view to life. It may in fact lead to a advantageous outcome. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

When it comes to VL's Nothing looks better than a carby 8 in a VL.. Ever since EAT-30L.. DING - Im done! In saying that though, if I was to do another VL, it'd be a Turbo.. So work that out! (last was in injected 8 so yeah...) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A mid 90s M3 runs 13s mate no turbo. Umm why is it stupid? And im not talking about BMWs cause I know them things cans go in N/A im talking about things like Lancers,Rexies,Pulsars etc Its just common sense I mean none of these cars would stand a chance against a V8 without a Turbo its just the way it goes. V8s dont need forced induction to get up and going very quick if im not mistaken the fastest LS1 in the world is N/A and does a 7 second pass now does that tell you alot about V8s?

Yes Wyndup this is about VL 8s and Turbos not drag cars. All I said was that I am aware that doorslammers use forced induction and you jumped down my f*cking throat so learn to take the sh*t you dish out. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
