The diff broke quickly.
Gearbox is also on the way out.
Rims needed re-alignment.
Rebuilt the motor after 70000kms and replaced the cam and chip.
The rest of the car is standard Group A.
This car is seriously quick and it handles like it's on rails.
Ran a 13.54 @ 120mph with the diff on the way out.
The standard 6 speed allows me to do well over 240kph if the person I'm racing can keep up with that.
The old highway diff has been swapped with a lower ratio version, still LSD.
This car is a showroom stunner, and would have been a weapon when it first came out.
Haven't seen another VN SS Group A like it.
I am unaware of any other mods to the motor, but the chip, cam combo is meant to give me over 250kw at the flywheel.
13.54@120 I don't think so. I have a VN Group A which is superchared intercooled and a 355 stroker in it running 10lp boost. Valve springs are shot so only rev it too 5700 not 6500 but still run 12.05@119 from a car with a dyno proven 490kw.
There must be something wrong with your car, I have a vn calais 5ltr series2 withe c.o.m.e 355, twin throttle-body, CAPA charger 9inch diff 4:11 gears and I've ran consistently between 12.1 and 12.4 so get your car checked buddy or just get a new 1 cheers.
490kw and you ran that time, to be honest that's SLOW. My mates XR6 TURBO has 490KW dyno tested on 8psi with mods and he ran a 10.90... But I will say the older Holden V8's kill the new Gen3's. They are slugs.
That's seriously slow I just ran my vn SS group A and it ran a high 10 with only a few mods like head and cam work, full 3 inch exhaust and extractors I've also blue printed the motor and put a two speed power glide gearbox... so mate get your box checked because that's not a beast that puts vn SS group A to shame I could beat you in 1st.
Sounds To me like a lot of you are just posting Dream Times. I have a VN Calais with a simple V6, completely rebuilt with Chip and New 2.5 inch exhaust. This does 14.2 Seconds with 155KW according to Dyno. Nothing Special.
Read it and load of drivel.
God my VY SV8 will make people run for their money.
Gen 3's slug who ever wrote that should go out on the track one day.
All your cars sound like slugs.. i have a VN wagon with a fully worked 308 storked to 355..6 speed box and a straight through 3inch twin system exhaust..I'm pulling high 11s and low 12s over the quarter mile...
People who modify these cars should be shot! there are only 302 of these built and you feel the need to go out and destroy the remaining ones by modifying the hell out of them and sticking them on the drag strip... yous obviously can't be that bright as these cars are built for the racetrack not the 1/4 mile, don't pride yourselves on the mods uve made and how fast you can go be ashamed they are a car to be kept stock and admired.
