my bro is a vl man.
He's got this DVD street commodores which is just full of VL turbo's doing 10-12 sec quarters. The cars that run 12 sec launch that hard and are all auto's(they can handle the boost better)
They all run T4 turbo, truck intercooler, engine management and normally have the boost set at 15psi. Most have spent anywhere from 10-20 grand on them.
I would say his car is just clapped out VL turbo on it's death bed and he probably picked it up cheap for say 4-5 grand.
So when he heard the V8 note and realised his car isn't that great he got scared and backed off.
