MEMBER RIDES This staunch Holden GTS 406 replica comes to us from Paul and Corey, a father son team who run Bridgestone Wainuiomata in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. The GTS is Corey's pride and joy. He purchased the car as a stock GTS replica and since then, hundreds of hours of work have gone into it to turn it into the impressive street drag car it is today. The car is powered by a Llama Racing engine that currently produces 700HP. The engine is capable of producing over 1000HP and with a few additional tweaks, Corey is certain he will get that. The GTS is fitted with a 9" Power Glide and has a full custom rear end. In addition, it is running an AFI computer system and is fitted with EFI injectors. Corey races the GTS at the Masterton Motorplex Drag Strip where it is currently pulling 11.2 seconds for the quarter mile. With the addition of a power boost and increasing the PSI from 8 to 20+, Corey is certain the car will be under the 10 second mark for the quarter mile. Not to be outdone by his son, Corey's father, Paul, has an equally impressive Holden HQ Ute which will be featured in a future edition. Well done Corey on building a very impressive Holden GTS 406 replica! If you have a story or a ride that could be published in Ignition, send an email to [email protected].
