Yes !!!!

It's the same car in all the pics, I probably just messed the order of the pics up......there were most likely several config changes made during the build.

[p71]

Bad ass ride... makes me kind of sad though...

[nino@gaypontiac]

Sleeper...


:eek:

Do you think he voided his warranty Nino?

[Cobra]

All those wires reminded me of my hair before I shaved it all off

Maybe just the part that covers the exhaust. I would love to see the look on a tech's face when he popped the hood and saw twin snails. He would probably shit his pants LOL

"Ahh....Could the service manager come to bay 2 please"

[The Commodore]

There is a little SRA hiding in their.

[bigwillys58]

[GrandPrix98GT]

Beautiful. I would love to see some videos of this in the future!

[PerfectD3]

Customer: Yes, I need my oil changed.
Service Manager: Sure thing sir, we'll bring it around and get this taken care of for you.

5 mins later....

Serivce Manager: W.....T......F........?!!?

[used2vtec]

Sex on wheels!! Get that beast out on the track :).

[locrzn#92]

Wires remind me of Jimmy Hendrix, Purple Haze. I guess you guys know what that means. Don't ya.

[MGM GT]

WOW, absolutely love it!! Very nice build!

Has it hit the track yet?

[NYG8GT]

I think the main question here is, will be as fast as ITBFST?

[GRRRR8]

I think the main question here is, will be as fast as ITBFST?

Considering its a drag car, I would hope its a couple seconds faster.

How fast or should I say SLOW is your car?

[GRRRR8]

Beautiful car Paul. Let us know how fast that beast is.

[MGM GT]

Just looking at it, should be somewhere in low 6's at over 200. Probably more in it once all the kinks are worked out.

[GRRRR8]

That car is still 3500lbs is my guess. I have seen up close what it takes to make a 6 second Mustang so I would have to say its a low 7sec - high 6 sec car.

[MGM GT]

Mustangs are slow... until you put a LSx in them :nah:

LSx's with twin 88's in 35-3600lb street cars are running high 6's on radials.

Either way its a damn nice setup!

[Crazy Paul]

WOW, absolutely love it!! Very nice build!

Nope, it's still being built. Probably at least a month away from hitting a track.

[Executor999]

1,032hp?!!! :surprise:

[Andy@SquashPerformance]

Oh my.

IT only has 1000hp?..... @3500 lbs.... there is no way it will be in the 7's in my opinion........ Of course just an opinion, but for that weight and hp..... I would say no better than 8.5..... still fast....

Looking at this setup I would have thought it would have made alot more than 1000 hp.... more like 1500-1800hp.... but I guess they will work that out also.....

[wnt2gofst]

that is just BAAAAAD ASSSSSSS!

[bradshow]

i'd rock that to the drive in, f'n sweet ride

The exchange rate on kw's is bad right now. The HP is weak.

[GeoffA]

Ok, so what tranny are they running?

[JVH1982]

This is definitely worth keeping an eye on....

[GTeve]

That is unbelievable! Anyone know what ci they went with? and what kind of boost they were making for that dyno run?
Either way, that is sex on wheels...

[dthornton8]

did they ever take it to the track? what did it run if they did?

[G8GT721]

440ci LSX if you click on the first link under the video Paul posted

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

That's one bad ass Commodore there, it sounds mean as hell.

[BigRob]

there is a g8 god... :O

[Crazy Paul]

"Well it finally happened today,the VE finally made it to WSID for its first shakedown pass.With all the weather reports suggesting a rainy day we battled the elements and with some stroke of luck managed to get 2 passes between rainy periods.Mind you the track wasnt at its best due to this but what to you do?-shit happens.
Ok with the first pass the VE managed to run 9.399 seconds at 154.14 MPH with a shitty 60 foot time and considerably reduced boost to play it safe.
Second run we slightly increased boost and improved slightly on a sixty foot time and managed to squeeze out 8.973 seconds at 159 MPH.
We planned to run further passes with more boost and unfortunately the rain stopped that dead in its tracks.So there you have it,the first 8 second pass VE car.
Cant wait to get this animal back to the track for more passes,Iam confident with more passes the ETs will improve and with more changes in the pipeworks things can only get better.Photos/Videos+ in-car footage coming soon."

[travis gore]

8.973 that is really hauling! Awesome machine. Who makes the turbos?:watch: for in car camera footage

[Crazy Paul]

"Ive decided to replace the T04Z turbos with my monster Precision turbos"
"the car weighed in at 1580kg.Hopefully we can remove at least 150kg without drastically altering the body."

It shocks me they would put those two cars at the line. He could have waited another 4 seconds to make a race of it. LOL
