I have had the car for four years and the only problem that I have with the car is that it over heats a lot so I put a trust inter cooler in it and now the problem is that it is too powerful for me to control.
In all honesty the VL turbo (BT1) is a cheap quick car that does not need a lot of money to get up to the speeds that you want and the VL is a stylish car (you have to admit it) all you need to do is: have a decent paint job, get some 18" wheels, tint the windows and lower it and you already have a nuts VL.
Hey mate every thing you wrote was true the vl is the best car ever never blow doesnt matter how hard ya push them they always look good if they have a good paint job.
