    Default Settle down or grow up (VN Series I V6)

    For those that continually post disparaging comments about other members posts please read the heading again. I am new to this forum and think it is brilliant. I have learnt a lot in the short time I have been a member and have offered advice where I can and received good advice in return. If I don't agree with a post, I don't reply with rudeness, I reply adding what I know about the subject. Many have replied to my posts and have even given me 14 points. I didn't think I would ever give a negative reputation point but I am getting close with one particular member who has nothing better to do than slang off at others.
    For the non-believers, find a friend of a friend of a friend who owns a VN V6 Series I (in good condition)and time it yourself. Then come over to my place and I'll take you for a drive in my plain looking mechanically sound VN. Better still look up some written material on the subject and see what times these cars can pull in stock form.
    You'll probably just say that the test equipment was faulty or some other bullshit though. I expect that. Series I VN V6 manual execs ran 7.6 to 100 in standard form which is fractionally slower than the standard V8. Look it up the info is out there.

    Yea mate...thanx for that, from all 17,000-odd of us......it can be really hard Moderating some of the posts you mention..I am always in trouble with Admin for removing posts that I think are not appropriate......and it is really annoying to the thread starter, too, when they say/offer something, and some one comes along and baggs it ..(..it is realllly hard not to argue the point with some of these people you mention though....I am learning not to.....)...like that Magna-flow add on the page here......my son is a uni student, does all sorts of weird shit in labs etc.... and he said there is no reason why it wouldnt improve ones fuel economy.....magnets can do wierd stuff to things......reguardless if there is magnetic material in the fuel or not.......

    the VN V6 series one is the quickest V6 from the VN - VY models, ill put money on it, the vn series one engine didnt have a throttle body block which all models after came out stock with, when the vn s 1 came out ppl where complaining to holden that if they exellarated fairly firmly on take off the wheel would spin and there was loss of traction, after the series one, holden developed this block mechanism that stop this from occuring
