After being a burnout competitor for just over two years, Leroy Rees has absolutely smashed the hell out of the industry. Last year alone he took home the winners trophys for Gazzanats Adelaide, Elite Pro Street Burnouts and Drag Tag 10k Burnout Challenge.

Even after all of his success, the “Loud Obnoxious C***” still has both feet firmly planted on the ground.

Everytime BIGV8 heads out on the pad, you can be assured of a great show. A true crowd pleaser in every sense, it has the mechanical muscle bulging out the bonnet, ear bursting exhausts and instant tyre smoke. The only downside to watching any of Leroys burnouts is that they are very short lived, a brand new set of 17″ tyres last on average 90 seconds when the loud pedal is flat to the boards.

What makes a good sleeper? It seems like a pretty simple formula really, take a car add a big dose of horsepower, leave the rest looking like the standard vehicle and off you go right?

What’s missing from 99% of sleepers though? They all have the power and looks yet at idle most sound like they’re ready to tear your arms off and beat you around the ears. It’s not a bad sound, it’s a sound we all love and chase, but a true sleeper needs to be subtle and unassuming in every way, including its exhaust note whilst putting around town.

This TC never knew what hit it when Shaun decided it was the car for him. It was bought with a warm 289 in it and has since had 5 engine combos. The latest is a 383 stroker that was recently rebuilt after cooking the crank and 4 rods at Elite Pro Street Burnouts 2007( CYCOV8’s Elite Prostreet Burnout Video )!

Built to be abused and used, this TC cops a hiding at events around Australia, from powerskids, burnouts to drag racing. Mini tubs and a 4 link rear end were added late last year to help preserve the paint during burnouts and increase hook up off the line at the drags.
