Today I was follwing a BA falcon (non turbo) through road works in my VN V6, the BA dude had a really itchy foot and was keen to get out of there, I could see him getting ready and had decided I was going with him for information gathering purposes, so once we left the 60 zone he floored it and then I floored the old VN, first time I have started it up in months so she wasn't running the best! but I managed to gain about 1/4 of a car length on him from 60-120 which is when we had finished passing a truck and a car. Anyway it was almost identical in speed from a rolling start as the VN which I thought was pretty good for such a heavy car.
But for the rest of the day I've been wishing I was in the VP :b:
Just have to edit in the Motor Magzine time for the manual BA XT in case some is searching for this info (looks like the lighter XT with a manual would have beat my VN)

yeah, I kept up with an XR6 (not turbo) pretty nicely not long ago (largely thanks to your chip!!) Its nice, keeping up with new cars in 16 year old onesfun seeing the other driver getting pissed off sas well!
Foam if you had of been in the VP you would have managed to over take the poor guy before he got his foot all the way down. That thing's a monster.
Gravity is proof that nature keeps getting us down.
