    Well depends on the models & engine, transmission combo for VKs 9.8sec 0-100km/hr to 6.9sec 0-100km/hr 16.3sec Qtr Mile to 14.6sec quarter.

    As for fuel economy anywhere from 10L/100km to 20L/100km depending on the engine & driver.

    cheers
    Scott

    My GF's grandma has a VK Berlina 308 (I know, what a cool grandma) and it does about 18lt/100km (at least when I'm driving it, although I've been told that it does around that even with sedate driving). This is an estimate as it has been struck down by the common odometer-not-working ailment that seems to afflict lots of earlier commodores. (BTW, stock as a rock).

    From my experience of driving commodores (which is limited), it is slightly quicker than a VT V6 from a standing start, so its not exactly a road rocket. Engine note and rolling accelerating are its strengths.

    I'd be interested to see what other people are getting in comparison to this.
