Guys,

Just thought i would post this up as most of you are not happy with the L98.

Motor magazine have a done a 13.4 quarter mile pass in the VE SS Commodore.

The car will do high 13's all day. Considering the cars weight, build quality and features and price is it that bad?

pics of vid?

13.4 is the average 2005-2006 GTO time.

I will wait til a few hit the states and see what they come in at. I have notnhin g against the L98 but would much rather see the LS2 at 400/400 in this thing.

The Magazine issue is November 2006. It won the BFYB Contest. For the life of me i can seem to find a picture on the net.

Basically it says

400 METRES IN 13.4! $45,000AUD! WHO'S YOUR DADDY?

scan it :P

LOL i don't have a scanner.

This is the only pic i can find

Bang for your Buck and Wheels car of the year.. cant argue with that ;)

Very nice times for a car like this. With just a little in mods this car can be in the 12's all day long.

Just remember this car is rated at 362hp with regular 87 octane gas, so maybe with a tune and premium you'll be able to pickup enough hp to bring it back to 400hp.
