Here is some comparisons from a list that I have taken. All cars vary in weight, intake mods, engine mods, turbo, other bolt ons etc... so here is a variation of times possible. This information was taken off calaisturbo website for those that are wondering. These had to be back up with pictures and timeslips to prove it. 10.554@118mph 10.630@128.20 10.676@127mph 10.78@126.4 10.87@124.8 As I stated earlier, a mph of 125+ will prove he can get near the 10.3 If you do speak to him again find out mph and any modifications he has performed. If he's manual, forget it, he's sh*t talking unless he has 310+ at the rears and is a damn damn damn good driver. Matt.

only very basic mods. Converted n/a to turbo motor (high compression around 9.0:1) t3 hiflow boost controller - 10psi tuned 2.5" exhaust (upgrading to 3") Pod filter FMIC Ran on 215 street tyres at heathcote first time ever racing ran 14.3 @ 87mph, 60 foot 2.34 Then ran 14.5 @ 97mph (with passenger), 60 foot 2.4 Need more practice, especially getting out of the hole (taking off on no boost, will stall it up next time) Believe the car will run low 14's, possible break high 13's if I get more practice and that's on street tyres, will try with slicks in the future. Only making 164.5rwkw on 10psi (car is daily driven, plus exhaust is letting it down - can boost it more) so pretty happy with the above times for the moment until I get some more racing skills under my belt. Also happy to know that it's running low 14's atm which is exactly how it is on the street, same boost, weight, tyres etc. Other mods: just neatened up engine bay, custom sprayed rocker cover, oil catch can, boost gauge, stereo & riding on stock calais wheels and all the other little things. replaced a lot of stuff, a lot! lol

I currently drive a VL calais turbo but looking to upgrade some time soon to a T (hopefully next year, but really pushing to get it then). Only problem is also in the market to buy a house (getting married shortly) so that's top priority. My old man has a BA in silhouette only a 6 but got tinted windows, 18" XR8 Wheels, Black leather interior, sunroof etc.

Hey mate, Does he have personalised plates at all? I'm from the vl turbo world (new member to this forum) so I may know of the car. It could be possible, but I doubt it, most people with 250-270rwkw in a properly set up car would be running around the 10.6-10.7 at 125+ mph. Alot of things can matter and don't go believing dyno figures as dynos are merely a tool for tuning, mph is the true indicator. Find out the mph and from there you should work out if he's bullsh*tting you or not To be well and truly be able to back up that low 10 I'd be thinking he'd need at least 270-280rwkw in a good setup car. But who knows whats under his bonnet and how he ran the car when he got a "10.3". I know of a vl on lpg that only has around 250-260rwkw and has run as low as 10.59 on slicks @ 130mph, I believe he may have beaten this time. If you do race him, let us know how you go though.
