HISTORY
FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS, VINNY TEN HAS BEEN BUILDING TURBO CHARGED, IMPORT MULTI-VALVE ENGINES. VINNY HAS BEEN IMPORT’S TOP PIONEER IN RACING AND ENGINE BUILDING. HE IS THE FIRST U.S. ENGINE BUILDER TO BREAK 1000 H.P. BARRIER IN THE 1999 – 2000 SEASONS WITH A TOYOTA 2JZ INLINE 6. HE HAS ALSO BEEN THE FIRST 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7 SECOND TOYOTA SUPRA AND THE FIRST TO BREAK 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180 AND 190 MPH BARRIERS!
FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS, VINNY TEN HAS BEEN BUILDING, RESEARCHING, DEVELOPING HIS OWN BRAND OF PARTS & ENGINES FOR THE V.Q. ENGINES. WHILE MY COMPETITORS HAVE BEEN HITTING THE KEYBOARDS ABOUT HOW GOOD THEIR ENGINES ARE WE HAVE BEEN PROVING IT. WE HAVE TESTED, PRODUCED AND PROVEN OUR ENGINES ON THE DRAG STRIP WITH AN 1800 H.P.

WE HAVE TESTED, RETESTED & DOUBLE TESTED ALL OF OUR ENGINE PACKAGES & PRODUCTS TO PERFORM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF MOTORSPORTS AND WIN WITHOUT THE DRAMA & HEADACHES OF OVERHEATING, BLOWING HEAD GASKETS & SPINNING BEARINGS. THEREFORE, WHEN YOU BUY A V.T.R. ENGINE YOU WILL HAVE THE POWER, PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY & CONFIDENCE KNOWING YOUR ENGINE AND PARTS ARE THOROUGHLY TESTED LONG BEFORE IT GOES INTO YOUR CAR!

THE VQ STORY
PERFORMANCE MOTORSPORTS HIRED VINNY IN 2004 TO DEVELOP THEIR RACE TEAM, WHICH INCLUDED THEIR STREET TIRE CAR TO RUN IN THE NOPI SERIES, AND TO BUILD A COMPLETELY NEW CAR, A N.H.R.A. PRO IMPORT CAR. VINNY DEVELOPED PARTS WITH SOME OF THE “BEST OF THE BEST” MANUFACTURES, LIKE C.P. PISTONS, CARRILLO INDUSTRIES, FERREA RACING, TOTAL SEAL RINGS, BRYANT CRANKSHAFTS, AND DARTON SLEEVES. VINNY TOOK THESE PARTS AND IN HIS 1ST ATTEMPT AT BUILDING A VQ 35, DESIGNED AND BUILT A NEW ENGINE IN JUST 27 DAYS AND PRODUCED HIS FIRST VQ ENGINE. VINNY STARTED TO REPEAT HISTORY WHEN THE PERFORMANCE MOTORSPORT 350Z STARTED TO SET RECORDS. NEW RECORDS FOR A 350Z QUICKLY BECAME THE FIRST Z TO ALSO BREAK THE 11, 10, 9, & 8 SECOND BARRIERS AS WELL AS THE FIRST 350Z TO BREAK THE 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170 M.P.H. BARRIER AS WELL. IN THE END WITH ALL HIS EXPERIENCE AND HARD WORK, IN OCTOBER 2004, HE PRODUCED A 350Z ENGINE THAT RAN AN AMAZING 8.33 SECONDS @ 176 MPH ON GOODYEAR DRAG RADIAL TIRES. THIS RECORD STILL STANDS TODAY!
VINNY DID NOT REST THERE AND VINNY KNEW IF HE HAD JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME HE WOULD PRODUCE EVEN MORE HORSEPOWER, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID. VINNY BUILT THE NEXT GENERATION OF V.Q ENGINES, HIS GOAL WAS 1800 H.P. THE TEAM PUT VINNY’S ENGINE IN THE NEWLY BUILT PRO IMPORT CHASSIS AND IN OCTOBER OF 2005 AT ENGLISHTOWN N.H.R.A.

HISTORY BUT IN NISSANS RACING HISTORY ON ANY CONTINENT, VINNY BECAME THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO BREAK BOTH THE 6 SEC/200 MPH MARK BY SETTING A NEW WORLD RECORD FOR BOTH NISSAN AND N.H.R.A. WITH AN INCREDIBLE 6.63 @ 215MPH A RECORD THAT STILL STANDS TODAY! VINNY HAS CONTINUED HIS WINNING PACE AT HIS NEW LOCATION AND SET OUT TO BUILD STEVE GILBERTS S.C.C.A. ROAD RACING CAR. VINNY BUILT A B/PREPARED CAR FOR COMPETITION IN 2006 AND COMPETE WE DID, TAKING A FIRST PLACE AT THE 47TH ANNUAL WEATHERLY HILLCLIMB. NOT ONLY DID STEVE WIN, HE WAS THE FIRST ROOKIE DRIVER EVER TO RUN UNDER ONE MINUTE ON THE COURSE AND THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 14 CARS TO EVER RUN UNDER ONE MINUTE IN 47 YRS.
