LOL they only jealous coz that half of ****s drive VS's and VT's wif a phat monstar tacho and shift light saying its the ultimate car on the streets driving around. yes its just another VL, but its the heart that was put into to build it. the money spent would be rediculous thats whyh it looks so *** clean. i bow to the owner of this car and congradulate him.
PS no offense to the guys wif the VS's etc. if u spent money on it ppl would appreciate it just like this vl

i would like to shift gears between 9800 to 10000rpm, only the dyno will tell and if its still making more power im not afraid to take it further.

mate no power figures as yet, mate its hard to say what im hoping for i prefer not to say a figure then disappoint myself but definetely around the 800hp@the treads figure hopefully if it all goes well.
as for e.t well the car is tubbed, 9" diff, adjustable 4 link and all the goodies hopefully it should be good for an low 9 sec high 8sec pass, but only god knows. im happy to just run the car down the track at least its doing what i built it to do. It could go better have to see how the car behaves on the track and play with it until we get it right.
thanks matey

Awesome mate...I can't imagine the kind of patience (and budget lol) required to build a car like this all the while keeping it quiet. Can't wait to see it gracing a track, although if it were me I probably couldn't bring myself to give it a proper thrashing for fear of getting it dirty..
