yeah they were saying all VN's were gutless? even worked ones... i know of a few VN that would leave them for dead after about 50 metres... yeah is au2low gay? cos he looks like he might be... cos i wanna know if that was his g/f or his sister or something

girlfriend...lol! I think they're both straight. I actually think the VN's have a big "flat spot", in that they start strong, then arent too great (turbo would hit boost) then when they rev out more they come on good. All I know is my mum's V6 VP Berlina is ****ing gutless, but the Fast VP's 5.0 8 seemed quick enough. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

VN 6 = 15.8 factory VN 8 = 15.4 factory VP 6 = 15.6 factory VP 8 = 15.2 factory. The above figures are claimed by Holden for what the above models ran from factory in 1990 etc Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Are you ****ting me? a VP will run a 15.6???? My ass it will, a VS's quoted time was a 16.8 and that was with the Ecotec engine, those VP heaps were just as heavy, with slightly more gutless engines. I'd like to know where that info came from.

Hey Im not saying they're correct, Im just going off factory figures and maybe you should do some research on the weight of a VP compaired to a VS. VP 127kw I think, VS 147 kw I think?

Yeah, the Street commo's VN has only ever gotten under 16's once, and that was still a high 15. :roll:
