VL Turbos

[tezflow]

Hows it goin guys, I was on chapel st on friday night and as usually there was quite a few vl turbos down there. Ive noticed alot of my mates always start bagging guys that drive them, and when they hear the "classic" vl turbo wooooot to to to (my attempt at spelling that massive cooler sound lol) they say stuff like wat a wanka etc. I dunno personally i love vl turbos originally wanting one as my first, i reckon they look pretty good, sound mad, and from what ive seen at calder on friday nights go really gooood. What do u guys reckon of them?????

I used to have one and had no dramas with it.

Its now producing 230rwkw with not to many mods as well.

Pretty good bang for buck. I sold it for $10,500.

Ive had a few VL turbos, good little bang for buck car, getting on a bit in years now but still seem to command decent prices.

VL Calais's are gorgeous cars

[seraphyn_r33]

yeah one of my mates has a vl turbo. Cheap cars and fast too for the price they sell at you couldnt find all that much better price/performance wise, cept of course a nice s13 or something along those lines hehe

[SMB315]

they are a nissan inside so they rule instantly, gotta love the cooler dose they can produce, go the rb30's

VL turbos r stupidly quick for how old they are. My mate at school is like ohh a supra will beat the shit out of that peice of holden crap. Little does he realise the price of his supra could buy me a vl turbo calais and a shit load of mods that could see me absolutely killing his stock supra. A SOHC engine that is 15 plus years old capable of producing 1/4 mile times under 12, 11, 10 and beyond has got to be something worth while. Dont listen to anyone that tells you that they are wankers cause if they had a car like that theyd be making fluttering noises all the time.

Thats my 2 cents worth.

[elGTR]

yes but the tt supra can produce better numbers than that on stock internals, Subzero did a 9 on stock internal, US guys are doing it as well.

[elGTR]

I'll take a r32 GTR or the TTsupra anyday over a VL.

[slow13dude]

Respect the RB30!

[600ZILLA]

Anyone would take a GTR or Supra TT over a VL but for 10k their good value.

[JCMarshall_Law]

I had one, not a bad car, not the most elegantly designed car ever but still not bad, went good as well. They are too old now but if they are completly rebuilt I love them. Having said that, I don't think I could ever go back to a VL after the skyline, overall the skyline is a better car, even considering the age difference.

[NismoGirl]

We own an R33 and a VL turbo. I prefer my skyline anyday over my b/f's turbo VL but that's just me.

It's an ok car and once the power situation is sorted out it should be fast, jsut can't understand where the power is disappearing to atm.

I think most people would prefer a better all round performance car like a Skyline or Supra. On a track the Supra or Skyline would beat a Vl no questions asked but in a straight line the VL with a few mods ammounting up to the same ammont of a stock Skyline would beat the Supra or Skyline. It depends on what you want the car for. 1 last question, in 5-10 years time will a street driven GTR be capable of times under 10 seconds. Take the Panic VL for instance runs 8.69 on slicks though.

Thanks

Well Duh! And I'd take a Lamborghini Diablo over my R32 GTR, but that's not the point of the thread.
