You could spend less than 10g on say VT/VX and get a 12 second car i would imagine.
A 350 in a VN would be a full 'sleeeper', but 10 g..... ****:cry:

if you've got 10g to spend you might as well sell your car add that to the 10 then buy a one of the vt ss' with the 5.7ltr gen III. No f#cking around needed...

And then you end up with a stock VT SS, not that enthralling if you ask me...

Stock but I reckon it will have alot less issues than the VN, handle better, be more comfortable and have a better resale compared to a VN with mods etc. Besides, that 10gs is only to get the motor in so its a near stock motor.

The weight difference between a VT and a VN will play a large part in a faster time. One of the main advantages of the VT is the IRS, which isnt a great system anyway. Id love to drop a gen 3 into a VN, have to have the T56 behind it though, and a 3.9 diff. The engine and box your getting is better than a VT one as well. the manifolds on the early gen 3s isnt the best, the better ones are on the later ones. Do it, do it do it, cant wait to see the results

I agree. It'll go hard and you will be an individual with a unique car. Not just some plain random vt ss. It will cost you but if you have the cash then who cares?............Do it!!!!!!
