So who knows we may see that car out again soon
Anyone know what happened with QWIKVL???... Saw it run at calder park the night it took PANNIC's title, sounded "sweet", has anyone heard of it since, hopefully not a one hit wonder.

About a month after he ran the 8.90 and 8.93 10 minutes apart, he drove it 100km's to a dyno day and realed off 530rwkw then drove it home
Flexplate was hitting the block that day and also the extension housing on the transmission was cracked so he had to fix those things
Also has been fitting a bigger cooler due to high inlet temps when it ran 8.90 and 8.93 10 minutes apart
Also has to fit a chute, bigger injectors and a couple of other things then retune it
Look out it will be back to the track soon

26-06-07, 21:41 GMT+10#78 but we arent going to compare single cam to twin cam are we (this is not intended to start a single/twin cam discussion) ? fair enough they are both vls with standard rear ends, but the rb26/30 is a completely different beast....maybe compare it to KD-747

How can you compare a car using the bottle to a car that isn't???
How can you compare a car that is gutted to a car that isn't gutted???
Every car has its differences so it comes down to who can go fastest untubbed ie: 26X10 or 28X9
