    There are faster cars out there than that. So it may have just been a team record or something. The team could have been jumping around for a number of reasons, but still...

    Be interesting to find out for sure.

    if that is a drag car that is very slow, as there are many street legal vls in melbourne running 9s in street trim, exchaser and pannic are ones that dose it with ease, type in pannic into youtube and see what it shows

    Um of course there is, but the thread is called "Quickest VL in Aus". So anything else is irellevent.

    I reckon low 8s, from a sinlge Turbo 3 Litre, is awesome, considering there's much larger engines, running the same times.

    Whats the quickest NA VL? Now that would be interesting. Anyone can have a quick straight line car with huge turboes, having a car run in the 8's NA is what is impressive. Just look at Nathan Higgins pushing into low 9's...i find that more impressive.

    I think it's something like 14 seconds.

    An R31, with a N/A RB30 ran a 13.

    I also did hear of a N/A VL, running 11s using NOS.

    Did this "Drag Car" still have a RB30T engine or something else?
    Cause Street Commodores issue 117 featured a VL drag car running 7.97 @ 171mph. Modified in just about every way though including a 505ci Chev Big Block so it's hardly a VL now but still quite an impressive time.

    Nobody wants to take the rb30e to the limits though. Value for money its just not worth it.

    Yeah all the times I've mentioned were rb30ets.

    Theres full drag setups with chevs and the like - not quite the same.

    you know, there are VL's running *GASP* 5 litres.

    and a car with NOS isnt NA

    It's not that bad, considering there really isn't a strong aftermarket, for the N/As and a shitload, for Turbos.
