thought this was back from vic ages ago?

Nope, still down there, planning on going on a truck on 10th hopefully. Be interesting to see the dyno graphs from tonights tuning session

Scotty you do know you're going to have to take me for a burn in this yeah??
When you coming round for a drink?
Give me a yell online when your on! I've moved too.... So I'm technically closer to you now.

But can't wait to hear this

What's the engine capacity now it's stroked? 6.2L?

yeah but when it comes back here, and goes on a certin dyno it will make a shit load more just because of the tuner so much experience haahhahahahahahahahahaha

I heard it made an impressive figure.

Will be good to see her back in Darwin figures or no figures it's still an impressive car to a know nothing like me.

one of the few commodores i like.

keep the good stuff going scott,

You can have all the HP in the world, and until it gets to the track and runs numbers it's just another commodore.

jealous

Nice intercooler.......

exactly, nice car none the less

^^ to some people mayb e the track is everything.

To 99% of the population its where their registered vehicle spends 1% of its life.

Whatever happened to the Street Car?

hera we go again

haha

whats the fastest street car in darwin?

carefull people

doug, that would be like having say an ls1 with 900hp but only ever ran a 12.9 second 1/4

real car nuts don't care about a hp figure, they care about results, wanna be's only talk about the dyno figure and never perform

this is Scotty's car, ya?
if so it already did high 11's, ya
so who gives a shit, only going to go quicker, ya
so i don't really care about the bitchin ya
Scottys a decent bloke and that's his vision

600hp, and it's run a 12 i belive it hasn't made it into the 11's,

but scotty's hopping with these mods that it will get into the 10's when it comes back up

can't wait to see, hopefully wont have to many problems to iron out!

I am really looking forward to this beast running the qtr. I take it that it will be at the first meet next year??

he may have done things differently than a lot of people would (including myself)...

but everybody should still respect how good this car is

I don't think respect is the right word in this instance.

The fact that this car is not to the taste of some other users and the fact that many users seem intent on bringing this car down a few notches is evident every time the car is mentioned. If you have nothing nice to add just close the window or go back to the index.

Let the actions of the owner speak for themselves and leave the (not so) subtle and snide comments to yourself.

Very true Joe very true


As if i bet if i put 170k into a car or there abouts i would be fast to so no i am not jealous and i am sure the rest on here arn't either well not over the car any ways maybe the fact he has that much money to put into a car but not the car it self. Dont get me wrong it is nice but i would not say i envy it or him.



wen you put that much money into it and then brag it will do this time then stroke it just to make sure it does so you dont look like a cock then i would say to him it is about the track figures as well. So if it means that much to the owner what time it does same to us.



again a very true statement there larsy



fair nuff what eber you say I think differently i am afraid.


aLthough it will be good to see it round town again and getting a beat down on the track by a certain GTR next meet hey KEN. And for what under a 3rd of the cost of the commodore. Know what i would prefer

This seems true considering every time a car that looks like it may be fast and makes lots of power is mentioned on here a certain group of people seem to have the need to pay it out . unless of course it belongs to a member of this group .

Are u all going to apoligise if this car runs tens?

I remember a certain car that belongs to a member of this group that was ment to blow everything away but ended up being very average .

Barry man your wrong. I am in no way jealous of the above mentioned car and i have not bagged it out however the owner who i know has put alot of cash on it and then said it would run a ten then put like another i dont know prob 20k into it to make sure it does and all i am saying is yes it has power but as you of all people should know what is the good of power if you cant get it to the ground.

it is a nice car but not my type of car although if it does the times he has SAID it would then yes i am sure alot of the people will shut their mouths

yea fair enough . who cares how much money gets put in to a car . MONEY=FAST/POWER

once again you of all people should know that power does not = fast. Which is my point man.


And as i stated i have never and will never be jealous of the car as it is not my type but i am jealous of the cash he has to put towards a car.

Put that much into a supra or gtr and you be alot faster then a 10

[quote name='Put that much into a supra or gtr and you be alot faster then a 10
[/quote]
if he did that then u could realy say its a waste of money!

MONEY=POWER=FUN

^^^^ fuckin oath!

Not really doug, i wouldnt waste my money (especially 170k) on a car to have 600 odd hp to drive on the street everyday. You wouldnt legally use it.



What is the point in having a car with X amount of power to drive around everyday??? You cant use that sort of power legally on the street anymore.



Im quite happy with my STD 5L thanks Baz

An "if" he runs a 10, congratulations to him, i could think of a better way of spending the sort of coin he's spent on this car, and go faster with more reliability.

I agree power=fun, Money!! need that to carry out the repairs after the burnout comp.

At the end of the day this is Scotty's car, it's his money he's spending and he's doing what he wants.

Who cares if it's not to your taste, it's not your car. Who cares if it runs 10's or not, it's not your car. Who cares if he's spent 150k on it, IT'S NOT YOUR CAR... Do we see the point here?

I commend Scotty for being a bit different, and doing things that others wouldn't. It'd be a very sad modified car scene if everyone chose the same car and did the same mods...

So, good on you Scotty for doing what YOU want with your car. I'd be proud to own it. Even though it's a Holden

haha you must have a degree in physics

I agree 100% Its how scotty wants it, some strive for 1/4 times, some for HP fogures, some want an all rounder you can still drive to Alice and back and not overheat or blow up
Shit hot Scotty, I'm not a fan of these cars in general however I will be certainly be interested in checking in out...... My Willys will be blown, tubbed etc but won't be 1/4 mile shredder as 3.5 diff ratio and 2500rpm stall, but am building it as an all rounder.... My point is build what you want, there will all ways be baggers but there will be a lot of people who will be impressed

are u talking about your car barry ???? that 355 of yours that was going to eat everything and ran a what was it 13? and was slower than a 308 ?

or u could be talking about mine which seems never really performed well, depends what u call perform well cause 12's on 15 inch street tyres and an unopened totally standard rb30e is nothing to really complain about! , which i don't mind! it was suppose to perform, beat alot of cars with alot more hp did better skids than alot of people, didn't seem to need to stand on the brake like alot of cars i saw! but not making excuses will just have to keep on trying to it all comes together which it will!

Scotty's made his car to what he wants with obviously not cutting corners, and like ken said, can't wait to see it at the track!

everyone talks like u do and other people about cars, i suppose the issue is the amount of hp that get's spoken and doesn't seem to perform to what that hp should, hince why i loved only making 160kw and running at 12 better to out peform your hp, then to under perform wouldn't u say

happy driving

larz...you know your RWHP should still be reflected in the trap speed....

thats the best way to see if someone's talkin B.S.....

like those 500rwhp skylines you were blowing away with your holden

maybe there is two methods for quoting power figures in darwin RWHP and JSM-RWHP

(thats a bit unfair...i havnt really had anything to do with them tho)

He might have been talking about mine Lars, but along the same lines as you I have never been beaten by one of Barrys "special" motors or cars.

Back on topic. Scott has spent a fortune on his car and will have some big figures to back it up. As long as he is happy with the result thats great.

BTW, 150k buys a second hand porsche cayenne with 600hp, early model f355 or 2 very nice 429 cobrajet mustangs.

I know what I would buy.

thats a good point RB. 150k is a load!! except for the mustang....i wouldnt want to own those other cars tho.

il give you my reason for owning the car i do. when you grow up looking at pictures of your old mans monaro (an original HT-GTS).....reading street machine, watchin old bathurst tapes...etc etc..... you really want to own a muscle car. i have owned two toranas and a V8 ute.....i got to the stage where i thought...why dont i own the muscle car of my generation.
my VTII HSV CLUBSPORT R8 will oneday be a collectors item. it was one of the most powerfull australian production cars released in 1999. you guys might not give much respect to our HSV's now...but in ten or twenty years....will anyone really want to own a 4bangin WRX or an imported skyline...or evensum old V8commodore? they will probably be made into in cans or sumthen. i own an authentic ozzy muscle car!!! simple as that. and rattler has taken his to the next level..... even if you blow me away, i will kep my car because of what it is..... you will see me driving down the road with a smile on my face... and thats all that matters. there are some things money cant buy (and for everything else theres mastercard )

no ken he wasnt talking about ur car and he definatly wasnt taking about his ute either lars. kinda narows it down abit hey lars?

Funny if he was refering to Lars car with its wrecker motor as it ended up being faster than his own purpose built 355 RACE MOTOR Makes him look a little silly

I know, and the post above says it all!

hey scotty when do you expect your car will be back,seems to draw alot of attention.will be good to see it cutting laps and hearing the blower whine.

Ok, I've just jumped on here for the 1st time in a few months as I really don't like people who hide behind their computers and bag people and their cars! Looks like nothing has changed (I didn't expect it to) but there are some here who I respect and would call acquaintances and friends (once we get to know each other better)

For the record:

Was sent down for tubs, 9", Teins and rims

Was ready to come home when I decided "Hey, they are great engine builders, why not get them to build me a stroked 6.0ltr"

So I did that with these internals:

Eagle Crankshaft with steel 4.000 stroke
Eagle H Beam rods
Diamond Forged 4.000 pistons
GM Performance 6.0ltr cast iron block (decked, honed, chemically cleaned, balanced and blue printed)
Rollmaster timing kit - Torrington
ARP main studs, balancer and flywheel bolts
Clevite H series Conrod and Main bearings
Cometic .074 head gaskets MLS
Billet Camshaft 410A Hyd
Duration@ .050"lift 235degrees
Value lift .561"
Lobe 114degrees
Crane 1.7 Roller Rockers and hardened pushrods
Higgins 1200hp CNC heads
Starr pyramid manifold+cooler core
Harrop 8rib pulley kit
8rib belt

We then ran her on the dyno and only made 450rwkw! Frank called me and said "Scotty, we got 450rwkw but the 2.3ltr is working her guts out"!! At this stage she was ready to come home again. I deliberated for a few hours, called him back and said "Frank, go the 3.3ltr mate, I want something special"! (This is the new style of 3.3ltr Whipples and is the 1st to be sold in Australia)

So that's where we are at the moment! She's on the rollers now and without NOS or methanol Frank seems to think we will make an easy 700rwkw! They only have a couple of days to tune her unfortunately (as with something like this, Frank would like 2-3weeks to get the most out of her, so now if something breaks, we're screwed as he doesnt have the time to rebuild) so it will have a consevative 700rwkw as I need her back to take to Summer Nats.

So those of you (and you know who you are) that bag me or my car for getting this work done to make sure I get into the 10's....... I will be wanting 9's, maybe even 8's!! Franks brothers car runs 620rwkw and does 9.2's!! I've done this work so nothing will break!!

The thing is I WON'T be adding a roll cage, so next year (before the T&T) there are a group of us who will be hiring the track with Ambos, Fireys, film crew, photographers, a starter and Jay's services for the time clock privately (as not to run under ANDRA..... no roll cage) and it will be there that Rattler will get her turn to prove (not to anyone else but myself) that she can run with the best of them! Then I can still come out to Street Meets on street tyres and let guys and girls have a run against her legally and have some fun! That's all I want to do as I'm Managing a drag team next year!

Guys, I've never said a bad word about any of you, or your cars...... so please do not disrespect me or mine!! Each to their own..........can you imagine if we all drove R34's or Supras? And for the record I haven't spent $170K on her! I bought her new for $62K in 2004 and since have spent $90K to make her my own!!

I didn't have to explain myself and what I've done to anyone, but just thought I would clear the air

That's all I have to say on this subject on this forum!

Below is a link of her having a tune run and was at 340rwkw@2900rpm. Please read the "About this video" on the side to explain the wind noise

Regards,

Scotty

P.S. For those of you who have respect, manners and kooth.... I thank you

P.P.S. She's in this months edition of Street Machine Commodores with the 2.3ltr Whipple. I appolgize for an earlier statement of being in "Street Machine" but that was my understanding.

P.P.P.S. I will have her back on or around the 24th December to be loaded onto a trailer for a road trip to Summer Nats 21 on the 28th! Wayne and I are both towing our cars down there.

this should be good 2 see when it gets back up here. hopefuly u do run a 10 or better 2 shut up afew people. u should start a thread about it on the STREET COMMODORES site if u havent already done 1..

Well done Scotty .

For the record... That's a big F*CK YOU to the toolies out there.

dam rite paulie!

WOW.

that should be interesting to drive,hope all goes well for you at the nats.

Nice car. Impressive amount of workmanship has gone into it.

Can't wait to hear it at the track.

I reckon this should be awesome, regardless of what time it runs at the track. I would LOVE to have over 600@the treads, and would probly never take it to the track.

Cant say Ive seen too many supercars staging the tree just to validate their 150k plus price tags. So I disagree with anybody who thinks that results are determined by 1/4mile times.

Well done mate. I like it!
