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 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Also what kind of ET's are you aiming for? once again /hardon. 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 Quote: Originally Posted by UNS10 The best VL I have ever seen. Bar none!!!

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..
