Congratulations to the owner and everyone involved with the car, truly amazing achievement, I had this car as my desktop picture for the past few months and would be one of my all time fav VL's, and I'm in love with the interior!! Good luck in the future guys and congrats again to all the New South boys for the recent jump in the level of competition in the VL scene 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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 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
