Not one to back out of a wild pass, Nigel’s mental 8-second D’Annello Performance RB25/30 VL Commodore turbo throws down a few laps at Calder Park on a very cold Melbourne winter day. Putting down over 900hp to the tyres through a h-pattern manual gearbox can prove to be a tough ask at the best of times.
