Dominic's VL-NA plus Turbo RB30E powered Commodore,

The Project Mission:

 To go fast & remain in 100% street trim.

NOTE: Street Trim = street tyres, street quiet exhaust, street registered, street driveable, factory computer, spare tyre, street , street, street, street, street.

car lifting jack, tools, brief case, jacket, standard factory body panels & NO removal of any material causing the car to be less than OEM specified kerb weight.

 Statistics:

 The Car purrs at 800rpm,

Starts to come up to full boost around 2400rpm,

 Swings with a smile to 7000rpm with 196,000kms on the bottom end

Spins it's tyres through all gears to 200kms/hr on the stickiest race prepped track (street rubber)

Drifts from side to side as the Dom gently guides the car along in a serrated line to top speed

Maintains 11.4L/100kms as it was from the factory

Has all the trimmings, e.g. seats, parcel shelf, stereo, factory dash, no weight cheating etc.

Over 18 runs later, the last 10 runs @11.2's Tuned in with less than 180 seconds of data,

We decided to head back to the garage as fuel was getting a little low.

This day proved the cars strength & drivers consistency.

**********

Dominic raced a host of cars,

eg. Nissan Skyline's dyno'd at 410rwhp, pumped on 150hp Nitrous etc.

beat 9sec drag cars that took 6 seconds to leave the green light due to slow turbo spool.

Many other Gutted, Light weighted Commos that struggled to idle on C16

Some over rated V8's that came out real strong but ran out of puff up top.

Ultimately if you enjoy a casual drive or an adrenaline rush this project has been just the one!

**********

This project has stopped temporarily as any further developments would push this car well into the 10 second bracket

forcing us to install a roll cage & safety harness etc to comply with ANDRA's antiquated  regulations.

Future Plans:  (scrapped 2011)

Fit a suitably large set of street tyres on the car & put the STREET back in to STREET VL.

The engine & driveline have now been installed in a new project "Calais" that is currently being run-in using a similar calibration, soon to be raced (weather permitting).
