I somehow got into the pavilion at Rockynats before the grand unveiling and got photos which I was asked not to share till after unveiling, which was totally understandable, absolutely epic build, totally blew my mind and eager to see times tumbling at Willowbank 🔥

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Somehow?! Not like they stopped anyone Trev, about 1000 of us watched them all being moved in, even I got in and watched it after Street Drags. 🤣👍

[@jimclarke1108]

Clever bunch of guys,hit the track at 8+ seconds first time

[@bbqboy175]

What an absolute weapon. I’d love to see this in the flesh. Great job guys!

[@MafiaboysWorld]

[@rayban5737]

And how big the drivers balls are

[@SXJEREMY]

The interior is amazing..

[@PETERNESS]

[@pro050]

[@ChristopherHallett]

Has Aiden finished his "budget build" yet?

[@ValentineFarm]

Wondering the same? 🤔

[@brianholcomb6499]

I’m dying to know what’s going on with Quinten Feast??? Even an update from him & his I phone 📱 would be great 👍🏻! I know it might be a distance between you guys, but I’m way further away in the completely fucked off USA!!! Please send us some good news 📰! We could use it!

[@STREETMACHINETV]

He hurt his engine so he's been preparing a new one for whenever we get to do drag challenge again

[@janeblogs324]

Would look good with some interceptors

[@ctheyer44]

What's the colour?

[@pro050]

Concept Paints custom mix, 3 layer pearl

[@janeblogs324]

I wish your video editor would actually colour grade the video :(

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

No one still knows what’s goin on with covid 😂

[@rickphillips7221]

8.3 is impressive for a mild build

[@ChristopherHallett]

"mild"

[@3800TURBO]

Yeh depends what you call mild. Our 3800 was mild and went 8.80s.

[@ChristopherHallett]

@@3800TURBO Anything runing single digits over the quarter can't reasonably be called 'mild', surely? Would you trust it to a P-plater with a freshly-printed license on a rainy day?

[@rickphillips7221]

@@ChristopherHallett Well today it is mild as ridiculous as it sounds, especially in the world of drag racing.

[@belvit]

Don’t you mean ‘Fully’ Sickest

[@marklr5716]

8:39.. put it in the trailer... high 7 second car surely?

[@ado6770]

yes they are running conservative power, they could wind up the boost easily

[@pro050]

Has 50/50 water/meth spray for intercooling

[@justingabell838]

What engine is it

[@pro050]

5.7 ls1

[@justingabell838]

I've got a RB 30 to go onto a LC two door coop project

[@mjcrowe6376]

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this a single turbo

[@pro050]

yes its a single turbo

[@pro050]

@@rob3332 single turbo mate

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah our mistake. Single turbo

[@michaelblair4744]

1. Build show quality car in 12 months. CHECK. 2. Run 8 secs off the trailer. CHECK 3. First time racing. Huh? Well done on a beautiful VL that goes as good as it looks.

[@craigbarth409]

Shane's VN SS is better than this vl. Why the he'll won't Street Machine do a video on it?

[@bugproductions9050]

I mean, this car is awesome, but I want to see "dads ute" on the dyno so bad,......

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Same, but got some stuff to finish

[@bugproductions9050]

@@STREETMACHINETV man, I'm happy to wait, but I'm itching to see what that cheeky "318" will put down. So cool. And how about that mad dog from my home town in Radelaide casually throwing a 13b in in a red vn. Good times!!!!
