    Holy crap thats the first vn-vp v8 ive seen so far that is only a hair whisker away from mine km wise, im currently sitting on 110,000 after owning it from 107,000. Bought for 5500 with rwc (vn v8 calais auto)


    Good to prove how the low km v8's perform, youd find a similar one to yours with high kays would pull a 16 sec pass : p

    i wana head back to the track , with my new box and the new exhaust system i had put on , if i can crack the 14 mark , and run a few more mph , i think that would be pritty good for a stock engine with a single system and single cat , im also still useing the oem air filter,

    can any one tell me what sort of times and mph i would run with something like a raptor blower kit add on to my car

    about a 11-12 second pass if your motor and box holds on, and you can drive.

    Same as if you put a big crate motor in should run a 12 or so.

    Beautiful car Not a bad choice in wheels, either. They're different, and I quite like them. Your number plates are only a few digits away from mine too - looks like you picked up the VP around the same time I got my VQ registered ^_^

    Good to see another VP V8 Exec getting around Strip some weight out of that baby, and she'll fly ^_^
