Amazing car, well done. These things happen in motorsport though!

One thing - I can't believe this guy hasn't noticed the car crashing behind him - one would guess that it made quite a noise hitting wall, but no, this guy just nonchalantly ambles on...

Great thread and superbly written, shame about the crash though. Hope you are well recovered and glad you are not put off. Blue VXR should look tasty!

I LOVE the banana peel, I couldnt stop laughing, not sure why I think thats so funny but I also love Peep Show and Inbetweeners, maybe it takes a weird sense of humor!

How do the S300s spool on your car? Are they 60mm or 63mm or 66mm? I have an LS3 with a PT76 on it and it works good, but I have another car with a 454 bbc and single S400 and want to put a little more on it. I was thinking two 63mm S300s since the 66mm has larger turbine and my max rpm is around 6000, so I dont want too much turbine and slow response.

Thanks, I love your car, those were sold over here as Pontiacs. Shame about your wreck, happens to us all though!

First time I've seen and read about the car. Shame what happened but it was stunning looking whilst it lasted. Possibly a little OTT for a road car but respect none the less. Hope the new one works out. One issue, you giving me more ideas for the VXR8 and I've not even used the new Supercharger yet!! biggrin
