Gp 3 motor, Gp A kit, bilstein shocks, aero wheels... bit of woodgrain... few stamps and stickers and were done

Haven't got pics , but I'd have to say 2RUMBL gold calais when it had its carby set up in it , and the VKI-11A blown injected 5litre because I used to own it . dont look like much but damn it went hard

Both look Nuts. Dont know if it's just me but I reckon the out of a bonnet look is usually more suited to the VB-VK shape better than a VL shape (especially with calais fronts). I'll have to say my favourite V8 VL would have to be Steve Santos's HSVSS. cheers.

was at calder once and saw a white brock vl (not sure what model) was a haddad customer, had a vortech charged 355 and ran a 10.5 racing the same way as he drove it there, u would never of thought so as it was quiet as and not much to look at. Otherwise yeah gotta agree with HSVSS!

HSVSS has a way better engine and interior though. And being an original it makes it tougher for some reason I just hate the sparkly paint job with the airbrushed lion on the bonnet and the big shinny 22s... other than that, its an awesome car ___ I think this is my all time favourite VL V8 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It's a ****ing ridiculously tough vl and alot of thought has gone into alot of areas of the build, but 'street' was not one of those areas. Once again, amazing car, but 'street machine'?
