Congratulations Paul. Mate, Go turbo. Supercharger on a nice VL....nah. Name one supercharged RB30 that CT members think is car worth mentioning ? It may be different, but it will not give the results that the same money spent on a turbo would.

Also, sorry to be picky, but wasnt ITSWAR originally red? I saw early build pictures of it and i'm certain it was red and i'm not sure if it was even an Original Calais? I may be wrong can anyone shed some light?

doesnt matter its war is still the best looking black calais even if its previous life it was red, best vl of all time hands down, credit to the owner, to be honest even if its not calais and was red best thing to do to a car like that, would you modify a factory black calais to that extreme if you had one?? wouldnt think so as its worth more untouched, there rare now

That's right it was originally a red Berlina owned by the Process West guy in Wollongong.

I've run into Steve a few times and he's just swamped with other priorities, he has spent like a decade building the car.. no rush to get it onto the track, it's just sitting their waiting hoping 2011 could be it's year.. would make a nice SC cover..
