A true fan of the blue oval, Jason Shulze proves you don’t have to spend up big to own a tough Aussie muscle car.

With a cool 470kW on tap, you’d be hard pressed to find a genuine road legal and engineered turbo street six as appealing as John Colaidis’ new ride.

After parting ways over 10 years ago, Scott Carmody’s popular 34’ Ford Rod is back in Business. So many cars have come and gone through Scott’s garage that he has trouble remembering them all, but this is one of his favourites, known as the Californian Kid.

During the outrageous styling era of the 1950’s there were many extravagant cars produced. Charlie Gauci’s 57’ Chev epitomises everything that the American muscle car scene is today. It’s blown, it’s a big block and it’s just outright badass.

The NMRA is the National Ford Drag Racing Series where Mustangs reign supreme. At any given meeting spectators can witness huge fields of 1000+hp D.O.T radial tyred cars running deep into the 8-second zone. There is one Aussie clan taking up the U.S Challenge on their own terms.

There’s a lot of opinion on what defines a real street car and all contrasting viewpoints share merit. James Sera’s VL turbo is currently positioned inside the fullBOOST top ten and the simple fact is that its one of the quickest street cars in the land.

The Mazda MX5 has always been hailed as a great steerer so it’s not uncommon to see many owners testing their skills at local track days. A custom turbo installation combined with adjustable suspension and sticky tyres ensure many a Subaru owner will have their hands full chasing this little rocket through the twisty stuff.

For the money, the little Lancer VR-X aint' what you’d call a bad ride, certainly given its 27K plus on roads rrp. Standard features include a load of body kit bits, neat rims, inside there’s a neat sports leather steering wheel, gearstick and handbrake boots, a/c, fast glass, 4 speaker CD, central locking with immobiliser, while under bonnet firepower comes in the shape of a nippy 2-litre engine.

Is this currently Australia’s quickest street legal 6-cylidner Falcon? The Ford Falcon XF isn’t the lightest car on Earth. The fact that John Colaidis can drive to the track, push this turbo 6 into the 10-second bracket and drive home all on the same tank of fuel is an impressive achievement.

Competition in Victoria for the VL turbo top 10 has heated up once again in the last six months, so we thought we'd take a closer look at the current title holder, Vas Stojanovski's JPC modified Calais.
