Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/08/07 03:28 AM Share Posted 29/08/07 03:28 AM (edited) 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 notTo 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.Hey OSO, what sort of money would be involved in turning a N/A into a 10 sec VL Turbo?
