Hey everyone... which would like rather have parked on your driveway? A VL TURBO, or VT TURBO. Here are some pics of a VT TURBO; By the way... say you wanted a VL to do 10's... how much would it cost? and why will you need to spend more on a VT to get it into the 10's? Are VL's made for lightening fast speeds. Thanks. Any comments appreciated Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

VL is much better for times as its 300kgs+ lighter and has a live axle diff.. but that VT ran 11.2 @121mph and makes 330rwkw on 20psi. internally stock engine except for rocker arms. With the bar on you dont even see the cooler except though the main air hole.

well if those pics are from the FIT website, which it looks like they are, then that black vt is a mates car. it was an R&D project built by FIT to test the power limit of the super6 bottom end. car now makes 444 rwhp @ about 19psi i think, and the engine loves it. very quick car.

VT for sure, those 3.8s are mental with a decent sized single turbo, such torquey motors and so responsive. And that bay looks 10 times better than 90% of vl's on this site, the alternator might be ugly but at least it's ****ing neat lol.

VTs are boats with IRS. Buy a 3.8L VS exec with live axle and whack a turbo on that!
