I was just wondering, anyone know the current quickest Walkinshaw in Australia? I know of MR355 that was supposedly being prepped to be a 10 second runner with it's auto box. Did this ever eventuate?

I also heard a "rumour" that involved someone in Melbourne slotting in an RB30ET in a genuine Walkinshaw. I know there was one featured in Zoom I think ages ago that copped a Toyota Supra engine after the original was swipped. Don't know if these car's will surface at the track, but here's hoping

I saw MR355 at the summernats in January, ver nice Walkinshaw, even has airbrushing on the bonnet! A Walkinshaw on the Gold Coast has been fitted with the JUDGE's motor with new turbos, allbeit with the help of Kevin Kent Race Engines. With the potential of the motor, surely this car could be a contender for the quickest.

I guess both... Yeah I read in Street Commodore's a while ago that there was a twin turbo walky being built in QLD.... If so should be good for some decent HP Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah we want the quickest original obviously. If it was for a faker, Vas could just put a Walkinshaw bodykit on his Calais and be the quickest

That Walky with the 8 throttle body manifold would certainly be the quickest road registered Walky around a race track. A few months back he was talking about a couple of turbochargers. Was talking to him last night and should have asked him if he was going ahead with the idea. Corsa
