    depends on the cars at hand, turbo, charged, v8 vl, etc etc. all being stock from the facroty the lude and the rx8 would both kick the ass of a vl and the rx8 would kill the lude.

    If they are all autos Prelude is probably the fastest, not far behind the RX8 and about 500 car lengths behind the VL, most new 1.5 litre hatchbacks can hand it to a VL over 0-100

    A VL had ~155HP when it left the factory.

    22 years ago.

    A late model Astra makes something in the region of 140HP and weighs considerably less.

    The result?

    Your stock VL will get beaten in a drag race by a new Astra.
    It's as if society expects me to act like a cockmongler when I'm driving the Commodore. People always look at me weird when I go the speed limit, or indicate for more than 2.5 clicks or accelerate moderately off the lights... wtf

    A stock VL would get beaten by most new 4 cylinders, but I would still rather a VL. There's more to cars than how fast they are over a certain distance.
