We added the brake booster. Stock, the brakes are not power assisted. The booster is a remote booster and can be put anywhere in the car.

Its already heavily modified, its by no means stock at all! It has a completely non standard driveline, suspension and interior. Its worth about whatever someone will pay for it

How would a v8 be more reliable? Why would I put in a v8 when petrol prices are going sky high?

my vl uses just as much if not more than an injected 5.0 and efi 5.0 are way more reliable than a rb30et ive owned 4 vl turbos and 6, 5 litres v8 were way more reliable
