Onya mate, have a good new years. Now after gardening all day I'll fire up my VL for the last day of 2023 ha ha. Cheers.

[@needmoreboost6369]

Mental build! Super clean combo with the interior being kept streeter! it’s got too many cylinders though! Lol

[@mikksweeney8804]

Always been a sucker for a VL.

[@barraboy7626]

Top Car mate and top video love how you presented it and explained about the car and even a Maccas drive thru segment, A1 bro keep it up and good luck at the Nats not that you will need it what an awesome car.

[@stump469]

Not what typically springs to mind when you hear about a VL turbo. But, having said that, what a killa combo you've put together Blake, that's one hellova weapon dude. 💯and street driven. 10/10 mate. Best wishes for 2024. 🙏

The ultimate street car.. Congrats Blake

[@scotthunter1639]

Great work awesome vid Blake spot on brutha!! That's one tuff Vl mate true streetcar 👌 I run interstate for 13yrs doing Adelaide mate the Sturt highway from Truro to Adelaide was always pretty rough was never dual lane either.. My last trip over the would've been around 2010 so it's definitely changed heaps mate.. Spot on Blake see you at the Nats 💪

[@bruceyblowback8748]

Good to here a young fella talking suspension well done. I believe not enough focus on suspension for power. Small cubes is a win.

[@Evans_Racing]

Thanks mate

[@offthetrack-k8y]

Suspension is everything

[@damienhasleby8390]

You have made it look way too easy. What a killer combo for a clean streeter!

[@owenbuttfield9876]

Nice work mate, see you at the nats and maybe a ride too 😉😉😊

[@killerslothgaming9568]

Really like the idea of a bolt in cage if you don’t mind me asking who done it and what would a rough price be?

[@Evans_Racing]

This one was done by AGI a few years ago now so they’ve changed abit since then, they range from 6-8k normally depending on the car or how much is needed of course, cheaper depending who you get to do it too

[@killerslothgaming9568]

@@Evans_Racing cheers mate appreciate the reply

[@anthonystefano1441]

Love the car. What alternator are you running & is it in the standard bottom right? If you had your time again would you look at a Haltech over the Holley? Is it a powerglide car? Keep up the good work cheers 👍

[@Evans_Racing]

Hey mate, I’m running a 215amp jaylec alternator, with the addition of a larger pulley from Billet Race Craft to slow down the rpm as that’s a big killer, it works perfect now and yep factory position with the warspeed pulley tension kit, powerglide yep. And definitely like the Holley through and through very user friendly too. Thanks mate

[@adamsrcsandadventure700]

Awesome VL mate 👍

[@Evans_Racing]

Thanks 👍

[@vasiliz100]

Wild car man. What’s it weigh?

How good do stock vls look man just something about them 👌

[@callanbice4485]

Although your car is a lot faster, my car is the same in the sense that it cruises the streets looking oem, although slightly lower and on radials, then the Welds go on for the track haha

[@hillbilly2224]

Great video 🤙🍻

[@connors5555]

Nice video! It doesn't sound like you used the audio from the mic?

[@Evans_Racing]

I did but the setting could Probly go up another level, I didn’t want it too distorted but hearing you yeah. Cheers mate

[@boujeePerformance]

Great video bro. Fascinating how it launches so tamely has it ever tried to wheelie?

[@Evans_Racing]

Not really but have always had it kinda set up to not wheelie, all in the suspension set up really

[@boujeePerformance]

@@Evans_Racing love it

[@speedfreak1161]

Good to see a Boosted V8 and not a 6

[@andrewross2534]

I might of missed it, but what holden gear box does it have? Awesome car mate 👌

[@Evans_Racing]

It’s running a GM powerglide

[@twincrossmedia]

wow what a vl ive seen it at mildura didnt think it had that much hp crazy

[@jackmeoff7686]

Is this the one thats up for sale in SA?

[@Evans_Racing]

Nope not like this, maybe 6 cylinder

[@jjjjjj9284]

Awesome combo Blake absolutely love it and big thumbs up for your building of the car and your achievements buddy 👍, What's your opinion on coil lead heat sleeves mate ? Yes or No

[@Evans_Racing]

Thanks mate cheers. I tried the sleeves, I personally think better without, they are abit like wearing a beanie in summer I reckon

[@jjjjjj9284]

@@Evans_Racing I was thinking the same cheers again mate for the advice 👍👌

[@mrporsche4236]

With those skinny tyres you will be lucky to da a 13 second pass. You will never get traction at any speed

[@Eqium]

Haha you sucked me in I thought it was an RB hand grenade, and its a LS much more interesting, I'm building a 427 LS with 98mm on it going into my VE HDT G3 im a LS commodore man, 7 sec VL is impressive bro, its a street car man don't worry about clowns saying, you in SA?

[@needmoreboost6369]

Surely your comment was meant to get a bite right? Rb Hand grenade? It’s the build quality that’s the strength of any engine! Ever heard of an rb leaving the factory burning and leaking oil? Or with rings missing? Nah but it happens with gm engines lol

Your microphone aint working brother,when you turn camera around,sound should not change

$8k for a mint VL??? Laughing

[@jeepnutscotty]

7sec and no cage? How does any track in Aus let it race without a cage? Not bagging the car, but I get booted for running 9s, that poor chassis is being tortured beyond its capability and we will ignore the way you say Berlina 😂😂 good to see you’ve spent all that cash and it still has squeaky doors 🤣 calling it a “street car” well yeah 😂you’ve built one dangerous car bud, remove all safety gear ?? Your the kind of guy that makes it so hard for guys to mod their cars the right way but the Police will see this video and will be on the lookout for you now and take it off the road, cheer bud, you done the car community a real dis service

[@Evans_Racing]

😂😂 wow what can I say. did you watch it for 30 seconds before coming to the comments section to be a down right knob? 🤣 if you listened and watched the video you will see that the car does have a roll cage and is teched to run up to 8.00, and it’s a completely removable/ bolt in cage. But you already knew that right? Haha your one of them guys that the car scene doesn’t need because you clearly have no idea about anything you just wrote 🤣 the only thing being tortured here was your brain capacity, maybe go watch some cooking videos or something and make yourself a ber-leen-a? Better yet show us what you’ve built 😅 thanks for sharing your story hero
