Lol I agree, think he belongs in an HSV

Ah thats how they justify 160g's by adding a stupid little exhaust valve

dont know why i thought it was relevant but...

The new HSV VE GTS does 0-100 in under 5 seconds.. so they say. Pretty impressive for 75 g's worth.

Yeah that is impressive didn't realise how far HSV have come in the last few models :)

Their speed actually reflects their engine capacity

Apexi have the flipper for sale on Nengun.... ..they are quite cheap aswell..$300? :(

which is only compatible with very few systems i believe......and i hear has no point to it wat so ever....alot of ppl rkn its useless

HKS also have a new exhaust system with it inbuilt

if u wanna see it in action u can watch it here

Bikes have been running these things for ages. But, with more relaxed emissions and noise rules, they've been able to.

Practically every supercar has an exhaust valve. Some of them have multiple pipes, to change the shape of the exhaust so you have the right flow characteristics for low and high RPM.

The first car I can think of that publicised the valves is the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. But now, the Gallardo Spyder, Ferrari 575M, 612, 599, etc, have it. As does the Corvette Z06.

Check out the Top Gear review of the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Apparently once you hit the RPM point where the valve opens, you can hear the car from 2 miles away. And, f**k me, it sounds awesome.

    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
