    and it floged mine by so much

    i slamed the gear to power d and the pedal all the way down, and still felt like the hand brake was on lollllllllllllll... i thought vn's where FasT like everybody says... can u tune the pedal to go harder cause it felt so weak

    Replace Fuel filter
    Air filter

    what are we talkin? a vn v6 auto against a vr v6 auto?
    if so you should have given him the flick without too much drama. are either of these cars modded in any way?(if so, how?)
    like greenfoam said, look over those things, and also check your throttle body...give it a clean and pull the throttle cable to see if the butterfly opens fully.

    I've given him enough advice on msn to knock a good second off his time, seems like both the cables need adjusting for starters, should be a weapon by tomorrow night

    Hmmmm I wouldnt be worried, I rekon most VR's would beat my car... The weight of a gas tank & the air restriction of the gas mixer on the intake......

    But does it open all the way with someone pushing on the pedal, if the cables are loose it wont and you said it shifts gears at 3000 revs that means the kickdown cable is wrong too
