  • Jim's JETV6 has been close to an 8-second pass for a little while now. We caught up with Jim at the track after running his first 8-second pass. The Holden Commodore is powered by a stroker V6 Ecotec engine and still runs the factory IRS rear end, driven to and from the track.

    Not a big commodore guy. But I love it when people bore/stroke and or both, non performance engines, making them tough as sleepers.
