    V6 Vengeance

    It is an ordinary looking VN Commodore Sedan that has been extensively modified from its standard formation to result in a real powerhouse of performance. The whole "V6 Vengeance" project was birthed as a random idea which quite quickly became adopted as Australia's new V6 Project story. Initially undertaken to document in detail the results from typical performance upgrades that could be fitted...

    Who cares really? Even a fast N/A V6 is still going to be comparativly slow in the scheme of things. The ONLY way to get a V6 fast is to boost it up.

    Too true, and then throw it in a torry!

    But yeah seriously you'd be a little loopy if you were to build up a n/a 6, when it's so much more rewarding to stick boost up it! Tbh, i havent heard of any "fast" n/a 6's worth noting, but there are plenty of very quick boosted 6's getting around.

    Factory 5 speed VSII, now 4.2 Litre L67 with T56 6 speed

    A guy on SC "Jas.G" has the record with a 12.376, he's made the Vengeance NA record and everyone else just look plain stupid. I believe this is a 4.2 with a decent cam in a VN, you can go read up on it on SC

    Wow imagine the cash that has been put into that vn to make it that fast. But that is impressive, it would kick my wagons ass and it has 14psi of boosty goodness. Off to do some reading.

    it was before they chucked a turbo on. as you said yourself, they did it to document the impact each modification had on performance. the turbo wasn't the original plan, things just progressed to the point where you'd easily think the end result was the intention all along

    as for fastest n/a NOW, i don't think anyone's even attempting to claim that crown, seems everyone's jumping on the boost bandwagon

    just pointing out, at no time did vengeance ever have a blue bottle. the whole idea was to remain 100% daily drivable (except when fitted with slicks at a legal off-street racing event)

    i read somewhere that they ran low 12s with nos. oh well 12.3 is a bit to fast to beat thats the record now.
