There is a GTS in Perth that did a 9.86 @ 139.9.

But it's had a load of engine work.

So your results on a stock motor are impressive!

Without getting too technical and 25 pages of back and forth comments.

The other car is a 2.9L whipple and 416ci

When you bolt a whole motorbike engine worth of more cubes to your LSA engine it's not really an LSA anymore....it wouldn't be fair to run a 572ci big block chev and call it the fastest the same applies to stroking it to 416/427 or hell we've seen LS engines out to 527ci now.

And as said it's not the LSA blower.

Anyone is more than capable of bolting in any engine, any amount of nitrous and turbos and running fast numbers, what is impressive is when you do it with what the factory gave you 6.2Liters and a 1.9L LSA Blower.

I totally agree 100% .. but the title was "Australias Fastest VF GTS" hehe

I think they have gone back to the 1.9L SC now.

Yours is still mighty impressive. To the point where, if I go down the VF GTS route, I'll be having a slush fund at the start to cool/tune it as you have done.

I've seen they have a few customers cars in the mid 10's too. But I'm not sure what work has been done on those.

I suppose the drag radials are a factory option. Along with the altered pulleys, injectors and map.

wink

PS That's a staggering achievement with something that's so close to stock. Makes you wonder if it would run nines with a whiff of gas.

PS Why is the screen blanked out in the shot from inside the car?

Is that why people get the auto trans? So they can drive with one hand?

It was me one handed. All years driving manual I sorta got used to having other hand off wheel.
Plus felt so pedestrian watching him motor past!!!
Seriously these cars are so capable next time may take it out of tour mode and sport shift!!!

VBox Test Suite is much nicer to use software for reviewing results, and you can include the 1ft rollout as per drag timings.
