    Of course you can. Why anybody would put such a disrespectfully poor chassis around such a motor is beyond me though.

    Nope - of the thousands of VL's built there are only 2 I don't hate. One has a 10 sticker on the door and the other has 05. How such a horrid looking road car translated into such a great looking race car I still can't work out. VL hater and proud!

    No need, I'm just telling you how it is and why people hate them.

    Care to point out where I said I personally hate VL's?

    Lol - If drag racing was your thing then I suppose so. Fortunately I have zero interest in it so that doesn't phase me in the slightest. Drove VL's when they were new and they were terrible then - unlike a good bottle of Grange, they haven't got better with age.

    Depends what your definition of better is. There's heaps of VL's with all re-upholstered interiors, body work better than factory, paint shinier than the queens bathroom, they've gotten better with age.
