    Default VP Calais 5L

    92' VP Calais 5L , maroon and grey, std Calais rims

    had this car 2-3 months havent done too many skids just love the way it squats and goes and the sound mmmmmm

    v. original, factory rims etc.... custom falling down roof lining *Pimpin*, door seals need replacing, back left window doesn't operate, badly faded paint in some areas.... sounds pretty sweet hey

    lowered a lil, going to drop the front end heaps, add strut brace and heavy duty sway bar.....

    engine is std w/extractors and 3" exhaust from cat back to twin tips.... home made CAI, 50mm PVC piping taking air from vent in bumper, up thru hole in std airbox... beats sucking hot air with a pod in the engine bay

    trans cooler fitted, stage 2 shift and corvette servo .... have a line locker kit to go in....

    plan to fit 3.9 gears and a minispool, and ask the engine nicely for 200hp (or enough power to do 2nd gear power burnouts) to be sent to the back wheels (maybe i should get 4 of those electric superchargers off ebay and add 120% power..sikk..lol)...

    more worried bout go than show dont really care what ppl think of the faded paint i dont have to look at it when im driving )

    so overall it's a pretty stock VP 5L .... JEALOUS??...... no? damn...

    Why would i need to? My first car ran comfortable 10's run after run at Calder. No need to do skids on the wet. Nor int he dry.

    You are an example of why laws are getting so stupid. If you want to drive like a wanker go to a track day.

    Assumed?

    Mate, you typed this yourself:

    I think this sums up EXACTLY what your like. Oh as for being rough, tough keyboard warrior, yes...you guessed it...oh no I am found out.
