great sleepa... i am sure it would go very nicely and surprise many people.

[Kenaz]

Sleeeeper. Very cool mate.

[Sunboost]

That's tuff.

There was a LS1 VX Berlina on Carsales for $16.5k with 230 at the wheels.

It was sleeper as, just dumped on standard wheels. I wanted.

[someLS1]

Wooo more LS1's!!! nice ride mate sure is a sleeper! id see that on the street and give you a run and probably end up very embarrassed

[stevo]

Nice power.. Would be a wicked cruiser. Get some black stockies

[Commando]

Looks great!

What's the go with black LS1s and BE-S?

[RAVEN]

Looks great!

What's the go with black LS1s and BE-S?

I think they go together nicely.

[Commando]

Well I think it's safe to say everyone approves

[RAVEN]

Its nice to find a site where people appreciate a car as a car and not just a badge.

[someLS1]

Looks great!

What's the go with black LS1s and BE-S?

I think they go together nicely.

Couldnt agree more

[Steady]

Does it make that power on LPG?
Either way, fucken tough, and very sleepy.
I'd give that a run on the street without a second thought, and lose horribly LOL

[-jjM-]

man defornetly taken off from the last time i saw u, looking good man, hopefully ill see you racing around princess one night when the EA is on the road lol

[RAVEN]

Does it make that power on LPG?

Yes it does but will only rev to 4k before the injectors give up,
but if i went to rev the shit out of it i just switch it back to petrol.

[XRated]

Damn those pesky LSx's. I wish Ford offered a V8 circa mid-late 90s that had the same potential.

Has it been down the 1/4? What's the economy like on LPG?

[Commando]

351W?

[XRated]

In a Falcon straight out of the factory Dave

[Commando]

Well, they're semi-common over here and almost bolt up fine

[Damo]

It looks crap though ? I fucking hate Berlinas.

I'm sure it goes well and stuff.

[snortingboost]

Although i'm a ford man well before i'm a holden one (mainly due to the ratio of dickheads that drive them) i do appreciate things which are fast and different. That is way cool, pitty about the cutout of 4,000 with the lpg but still sweet as. I have a VN wagon that's stock as, it drifts well but i'm sick of the shitty V6 rattle box in it. I've been thinking seriously about stuffing a crate engine in as a new 350 4 bolt/long/complete engine can be had for $4,000, packing 400hp straight off the bat. Very strong, very cheap and so easy done you can't argue with it.

Ford will be going back to pushrods in the future IMHO with the orion in the next 3 or so years. Pushrods make for a small, cheap and light engine with plenty of cubes. Who every wanted an engine the width of a box trailer just to have twin overhead cams? I've had the unpleasurable experience of engine dramas with the 5.4 and i can tell you they are more heads than they are block, almost the same size as a 302 windsor, it's kinda gay.. The only thing i like is the plenum if you excuse the 200ml of engine oil sitting around the trumpets. Bring back the dinosaur!

[John_LS1]

looks much better with the VX rear end. i wish i still had my VY SS

[Tiga_EL]

thats hott!!!! got a clip of a skid??? with sound

[RAVEN]

man defornetly taken off from the last time i saw u, looking good man, hopefully ill see you racing around princess one night when the EA is on the road lol

Yeah, ive nik named it the "money pit".

thats hott!!!! got a clip of a skid??? with sound

ive got no pics but she rips a nice skid when needed.

[abu]

Nice sleeper mate, looks tough.

[private9]

Nice! Makes me miss my VX LS1 Berlina.

With the gas injectors cutting out at 4000rpm, there are some gas injection kits around that automatically switch to petrol at high revs/load, so might be something worth looking at (if it's cheap and easy enough)

[RAVEN]

what do you think?

[Gozza]

will that defy the purpose of it being a sleeper.? just a little maybe?

[FRDXR6]

Haha exactly what i was thinking, you might as well wack a GT Wing and bonnect scoop on it if you do that

[Gozza]

if i saw you on the road i would be suspicious of it without the plates "sleepa"

[RAVEN]

Its all good having a wolf in sheeps clothing, but no one wants to bother having a go at the lights, i want one of these mofo business types that wouldnt even know what a spark plug is, in there company paid for VE GTS's that think there the shit to have go, so i can just blow'm away in my 7 year old, bbq fueled, VT.

[Gozza]

Im sure when you give it a strap at the lights - they will want a go at the next set of lights

[someLS1]

Do it mate if you wanna dont listen to anyones opinions i reackon they are tough plates.. i was driving on princess hwy im pretty sure i seen ur car.. if i see ya on princes hwy ill give you a run and lose miserably

[RAVEN]

Do it mate if you wanna dont listen to anyones opinions i reackon they are tough plates.

thats what i reckon, only true car enthusiasts will know what they mean anyway.

i was driving on princess hwy im pretty sure i seen ur car.. if i see ya on princes hwy ill give you a run and lose miserably

yeah, that would of been mine. near joes street.

[Gozza]

Do it mate if you wanna dont listen to anyones opinions i reackon they are tough plates.. i was driving on princess hwy im pretty sure i seen ur car.. if i see ya on princes hwy ill give you a run and lose miserably

if he wanted to do it and didn't want an opinion why ask for one

[SgtBourne]

either those plates or sn00ze

thats a top car, you must get some real knobs pull up to u and then just shut up once u stab it!
nice work

[-jjM-]

i pointed it out to you max before, i say get the plates dude
