vl turbo's, how r they

[shaggerz]

What is this VL Turbo having so much power thing everyone's always on about? Aren't they like 150kW or thereabouts? A standard VS Exec V6 has almost that and theres rarely an objection to anyone driving those for a first car.

VL Turbo should be comfortably nippy but it isn't as legendary in stock form as many think...

sorry to shatter your dreams buddy but if your getting your p's after july 1st this year you will not be allowed to drive a turbo, supercharged or v8 on your p's new victorian laws

Yeh apparently stock VL Turbo's are slow... Dont know.. never driven one. But most VL turbo's are far from stock.

think that must be where all the hype comes from... they respond to modification like nothing else

but stock? *yawn*

Also a reason that the government's "high performance car" restrictions are poorly implemented. Not allowed a VL Turbo but ARE allowed a VS V6, even though they have about the same power... odd! I wonder if Alloytec powered cars come under "high performance" mmmmm?

oops off topic! sorry

It is just that Turbo word that scares them.

Is it really surprising though? 20 year old car, 150KW, stock, worn and torn? (Most likely). Yeah I know I can't really talk, because I have an N/A, but I agree that most people don't care about what a stock VLT goes like, because there's hardly any left.

Pfft who cares about stock. 8 second 1/4 miles says it all and the manual record is like 10 seconds. Oh yeahhhhhh.:yeah:
