Fastest Ute was Dave Smiths Black VY, but slower than last time, due to soem exhaust issues!!!!.

But Yes. 4 Utes present and a good assortment at that.

How did the blue one (VZ?) go against the porker? I checked the results thread, it would be handy for the less regular of us if there were car types against times, if anyone has the urge?

The blue ute was monkfish1 and the porka was monkfish2

[Ciscas]

Blue one's a VE, Silver one's a VZ, Black one's a VY, Gold one's a VU.

Blue One's MF1, Porker's MF2 (4 wheel drive so no contest)

The Black VY "SS" is Dave Smith's and quite a special one at that. The 5.7 motor is cammed and had an H122 Blower fitted by Craig (Tinker). Dave is a highly skilled tig welder by trade, so the Ute has a nice self made custom 3" dual system (that makes your ears bleed!). I've driven it and have to say, it is absolutely mental. A nice touch is the set of Beemer alloys which allow a little more rubber than stock.

ETA I think it made over 500whp on the dyno.
