VN vs VS

**BUSTA** · 27-04-2006, 04:54 PM

my mate is soon buying a vs commodore and i was wondering what the power difference between the vs and my vn is both are auto but i would like to know if i will be able to keep up with him?

**fitzy2005** · 27-04-2006, 04:55 PM

both 3.8lts and execs etc ? if so the vn shood win

**Mr_Slim** · 27-04-2006, 04:57 PM

You should be able to beat him in a close thing

The VN has 125kw (standard)
The VS has 147kw (standard)

However the torque on both cars is relatively the same, but the VS weighs more, therefore the take off in a VN will be a lot faster. The VS will prob gain on you at higher speeds though

Another thing is the gearbox - the VS has that smart computer thing which regulates the power and makes it much smoother. However the pick-up is slow. But the VN was made before the time of technology, and the shifting is hard and fast

its a vs berlina and a vn le, much weight difference there?

**1991_Vn2nV** · 27-04-2006, 05:23 PM

The VN will win 0-100. VN's are 0-100 in 8.1 seconds compared to 8.4 for a VS i think? VN/VP commodores are the fastest standard V6 commodores made, including against the VZ with the alloytec 175.

**fitzy2005** · 27-04-2006, 05:25 PM

also the vs berlina will weigh more then an executive too as it has the extras

**S Pack** · 27-04-2006, 06:31 PM

depends how well the cars are running too. Im having a major power crisis at the moment where i cant even get 8.5 sec 0-100 with full CAI, extrctrs, zorst, rebiult stge2 shiftkit box, and a chip. i reckon just race him but in a sensible location out of traffic .......if you win dont let him live it down.....

**Boonz** · 27-04-2006, 07:01 PM

the main thing is traction.... vn's are skid machines so a skilled driver should win the race....

**pumba** · 27-04-2006, 07:06 PM

hehehe i dont no about those answers guys...

my vs exec beats vn's all day everyday. although i have 160.3rwhp

as far as i know its a stocka with zaust extractors and airpod

err how did u get that sorta statistics

a stock vs is like 100 rwhp , i doubt and exhuast and pod can do 60+ hp at the rear wheels, can it??
got a dyno result for that?

**pumba** · 27-04-2006, 08:17 PM

yep sure do

**mattman** · 27-04-2006, 08:20 PM

rwhp roughly = fwkw

so exhaust, extractors and pod to add about 13kw... sounds alright.

a vn in GOOD WORKING ORDER should beat an equally modded vs in GOOD WORKING ORDER off the line.

**pumba** · 27-04-2006, 08:23 PM

yea but as i said, i chew standard v6 commies easy. and i give the vz alloytecs a dam good run to without really tryin to hard

seriously, i wouldnt have a clue wot is done to it aye. how it is, is how i bought it lol

**mattman** · 27-04-2006, 08:25 PM

Yeah I don't doubt that mate... a vs with breathing mods should chew a stock vn.

**pumba** · 27-04-2006, 08:31 PM

man i chew worked vn's.

i keep up with some 5.0Ltrs aswell.

i wouldnt mind seeing wots done to it aye

**mattman** · 27-04-2006, 08:32 PM

haha yeah sounds interesting to me.. sounds like you got a bit of a pocket rocket there.

Mmmmmm my rocket arrives in less than a week

**pumba** · 27-04-2006, 08:35 PM

haha yea i was gonna charge the vs but im gettin a vpss instead in july so yea. hopefully the guy that im gettin it from hasnt sold it yet lol, i work with him so it should be sweet

.

its a mad vpss, very clean and very fast

.

so somehow, i dont think my vs would stand a chance hahaha

**mattman** · 27-04-2006, 08:36 PM

haha sounds good... VPSS always nice

**stocky** · 27-04-2006, 08:40 PM

.........why are all the vs fanboys bragging in the vn forum?

**mattman** · 27-04-2006, 08:42 PM

Eh... it's just where the post landed... have someone move it if it's upsetting you.

You'll actually find i was praising the vn though up ^^^^ faster off the line than a vs.. i was just tryin to work out why this guy eats em... by the sounds of it nothing special on his car... just lucky i guess :P

**stocky** · 27-04-2006, 08:45 PM

nah i dont mind. just seemed weird that there were so many vs owners here

**silver_bullet** · 27-04-2006, 08:52 PM

do any of use know anything on wat a vt v6 ecotec are like, my mate got one the other day and he thinks its the shit, i have a vn with a 2.5" straight through system on it and few other things like CAI and yea, wat do u guys think of the outcome, anyone tried?

**stocky** · 27-04-2006, 08:54 PM

VT ecotec = slow

there is a thread in the VN forum about a VT versus a VN. majority agrees that the VT doesnt stand a chance

**mattman** · 27-04-2006, 08:55 PM

vn will shit all over it.

vt's are slugs..

**pumba** · 27-04-2006, 08:57 PM

yea mate as i said, i EAT them more that i chew vn's so u shouldnt have a problem with it lol. there just the same as VS's but heavier lol

although, a mate of mine had a VX with a few lil mods and it was bloody quick. it chewed me hehehe
