Congratulations to Phil who drives the blue vl calais with plates 'V Hell'. I was at the Motorplex for Fast Friday and the car did an amazingly fast looking run which resulted in an 8.98 sec timeslip for the quarter mile. Awesome work. Plus, there was a torana with a turbo RB engine which was running consistent 9.30/9.40 sec times. Awesome night and congratulations. Here is a pic for those who don't know the car; (Go to this link for more pics; http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread...test+tune+pics (http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=122187&highlight=test+tune+pics) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i already made a thread in the general section last week or whatever... i decided the eastern state scum NEEDED to know about this car.. its just too cool to go un-noticed and its from WA.... such a special acheivement - quickest VLT in WA and is powered by a toyota motor doesnt get any better than that! *Hi 5* Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Congrats! Awesome time. I don't count this as a VLT. IMO for a VL to be classed as what we call a VL Turbo, it's gotta have one of the RB series of engines in it. Otherwise, any VL V8 with a turbo could be classed as a VL Turbo also.

Never the less a crazy time and well done.

But still massive respect for VL's going fast no matter what engine is in them Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Never the less a crazy time and well done. yeah... but whos to say that some even accept the fact of twincam engines being used.. some reckon even the RB25/26/30DET arent "RB" enough...

IMO if it's got a RB series, then it's a VL Turbo. Whats to stop me putting a turbo on my walky, and then it would be classed as a VL Turbo???? Technically, it's a RB30ET, but I class all RB engines in that catagory.
