Yeah probably doin skids in the hands of some bogan teenager, I remember there was a guy who bolted a turbo to a pretty stock VN V6 that had over 400,000 on it with a few other minor ECU, injector and fuel supply mods and it was doing close to 10's, dunno how long it lasted but cheap thrills for sure.

Check out the Buick Grand National GNX, its a factory turbo version of the same engine, with sequential fuel injection and wasted spark back in the 1980s:
