Not much of a rev head but I quite like those mercs. Love the rear bumper folding back along the sides on that last run ![]()
For the non petrol heads out there, some context. A brand new stock VESS Commodore will generally run a 1/4 mile at about 14 seconds.
To get an 8.3 is a pretty mean feat and I read that the guys running it are shooting to get into the 7's. It is powered by a 632ci Big Block chev engine, I would expect the van is producing in excess of 750hp, well over double the HP of a std V8 Commodore.
Update on fast van, Street Machine has a small article on it.
1305 hp before N2o.
Engine is 632ci Blackwell Chev.
