    well a vk is much lighter so it would be quicker, but get alot more wheelspin too so your launches wouldnt really improve i dont think

    one of the guys in our club has a VK with a VT?? V6 that i think is pretty standard and has run a 14.46. As people have said Vk's are lighter so it takes less to make them quick. the engine it self would probably be lighter than an old 202 aswell so the handling could end up being better if set up properly, less weight over the front.

    i recon the ecotec V6 would be lighter. just look at the crank, it's only 3 cylinders long compared to the long 6, short deck height etc. weight distribution would be better 2 cause it further back in the engine bay then the 202 as well
