As for anthony im sure he never built the car to compete with the Vl scene but to compete with the big boys like Ivan rx3 7.0 sadek 7.20 and the list goes on... As for george haramis its only a matter of time before he runs 7s I agree.. Everyone was comparing the old VL GOD single cam, untubbed VL that ran an 8.0 against BOOSTN. Now that was an Apple vs watermelon comparison. Finally, Anth went Twin cam and blew BOOSTN out of the water in only its second pass out there and mind you, on low boost... We are finally comparing APPLES and APPLES now! And at the moment, Anthony's Apple looks amazing and goes even better. I think the car will be out again for a private track day soon... I cant wait. Its going to get even better Not bagging out BOOSTN, not one bit, but i get frustrated when people make it out as if they are on different levels; imo for the first time in 8yrs, there is a VL built on the same level as boostn was built. Im just admiring the new worlds fastest VL!

If anyone's confused enough to think that either the old or the new VL GOD is/was heavy they should get along to the weighbridge next time they go over the scales. Race cars are supposed to be light. Shane's right, there's a damn site more weight to be lost in other areas than just the (mostly) steel body.

Haha, I couldn't agree more Adrian, who builds a 150k racecar and makes it heavy? lol. As far as being 3/4 chassis, the 2 cars are worlds apart, there would be 300lb difference between the 2. At the end of the day it means squat, as when VLGOD runs a low 7, how much who weighs with what chassis will be long out the window, for now lets get back to letting the car do the talking and stop the comparisons 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good reading...as i said when i rang you maatouky,.. well done,.. love the car and all the best.leave my car out of this thread..it will be back soon enough when i am happy with the way it looks..... jim

^^ well said champ , stop comparing the 2 cars guys and build your own , hi flow ur to3 and run 7's it's that easy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Who are you refering to?

Im sure matouk didnt build his car to run 7.8's thats for sure Look at simon kryger and johny wilson , wilson ran 7.6 @19x mph in ms/b with his mini tubbed torana and runs about the same times as ps/b cars which are 1/2 or 3/4 chassis cars so go figure .

well done Anthony....awesome effort with what I am sure there is plenty more to come

At 2400lbs with driver its only making 950ish hp, so theres plently of room considering the single cammer was apparently making 1000+ rwhp and spinning the tyres. p.s wheres ANK's dribble lol ---------- Post added 08-08-10 at 05:22 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by GMHBT1 [View Post] what about the rajab 300zx i heard a rumour vl god was made by the same chassis guy and it has every single thing as good as whats in vl god. somebody have a pic or pics of this car. **edit** just searched and found some on the site. Rajab 300zx?????? lol you mean Billy's car which is getting a Rigoli set up .... not a Rajab engine Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Can't wait to see them both tearing up the race track! On another note, can't believe how this thing sounds! Just saw one of the videos and it is the most insane sounding RB i have ever heard. Also what surprises me is how easily and quickly they got the car running and on only its second pass ever it managed to claim the record with such ease and reliability. Thanks for all you positive feed back and genuine well wishes.. One thing is for sure, Maatouks is not going to let you guys down,,plenty more things in our little bag of tricks still to come I promise there will be something for everyone...single cam,, twin cam,, c16, meth,,untubbed,, tubbed,, full chassis,, 3/4 chassis,, auto and Manuel,, so that way people can compare apples with apples I should also add a Special Thanks to all our boys and crew,, too many to list them all, but they know who they are...these are the heart of Maatouks and without their help and support breaking these records would really be so much harder... TEAM work leads to Success ! In the mean time, lets have some fun and share in the spirit of the sport.. look forward to seeing you all at the track.

ditto

i wonder how maatouk feels about this single cam, distributer, leads and not evan a full pass 7.88 149 wow

ask him..

He probably feels just as happy about it as the owner/driver of the car does !! Wouldn't drag racing be 'boring' if it was not competitive. Isn't competition half the reason why these guys or anyone 'RACING' is doing it for ?? LOL Maatouks car is the sexiest vl ever built !!! and im sure no one is doubting that this this is going to put on a show for alot of people... All the best !!
