These guys clearly can't drive. Full stop. I took my VE SS m6 ute on its first outing to the drags last week 2-4-08 to get a base line before starting mods. Ran consistent 13.3s and 13.4s with a 13.307 @ 105.3 MPH best. Dead stock with the exception of the removal of the plastic (Victa lawn mower inspired) engine cover, which may be worth 1 or 2 kw at best, on a hot day.

Seriously.. to run mid 14s in a VE SS you'de have to start in reverse.
