At the Speedline Grand Prix (Gulf Coast Raceway Houston, Texas. 3/29 - 4/1) Scott Kimbrow's Xenon R powered Kyosho Evolva:
1) lowered the single lap record from 15.3 to 14.8
2) lowered the qualifying record from 19 laps 5:05, to 20 laps 5:06
3) TQ'ed by almost 5 seconds over 2nd qualifier

i was in las vegas last week and i ran the new VR12Plus with my Rody V12. it was awesome! you won't have to sacrifice bottom for top or vice versa because you'll have it all from bottom to mid to top. another big plus is the fuel mileage. the VR12Plus is a very efficient pipe.

Anyone still running the .12s? I don't see too many Rody's on the east side or even the V12s. I wonder how would the Standard V12 3 port turbo match up with the .12TZ OS. Might be entering the sedan scene again and I'd like a nice engine. Hey all, the Rody 445 now comes with ceramic bearings! Hmm, that might jack up the price a bit though.

That is good to hear, anyway it is proven that the JP FX 12 T03MT are proven faster than the Rody tuned RB's, and the distributor here in the US are not really doing their job supporting RB products
