Your google technique obviously needs improving.

In the mean time, check this site out for all your commodore spec needs:

Is the VN a little lighter meaning it will beat a VP. And how would a stightly modded Vn 5L do agains a genIII

[greenfoam]

It doesn't take much to beat a stock gen III with a 5 litre VN/P (at least over a short distance), but once the genIII's have a tune and exhaust on them it's not so much fun :|

I know in my slightly modded VN V6 i stuck with a genIII off the lights and we where neck and neck till we got up to 70km the he pulled away if only i had won..

Yeah same here, my VR V6 kept up with a Boeing 747 untill around 80km/h.

Not that much of a challenge really. Reckon a dead stock 767 would eat you for lunch though.

165kw... its laughable really... thats about on par with what? a new corolla?
so a stock VN/VP V8 would have maybe 115-120kw at the wheels...

I guess torque is the bonus, but still...

mate had 184.5 at the front wheels on his old car, and that was a 4, so that makes what... about 210 at the flywheel?

Have to admit though, i could never go back to a fart cannon 4 after getting used to the grunty exhaust note of a V6... and a 6L Calais-V is my idea of a nice car to look forward to.

Grunty exhaust note of a V6

Grunty exhaust note of a V6

lol, that's what i thought, you all will hate me for this, but a falcon six with exhaust, ****'s all over a V6 with exhaust, for sound.

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

man that guys funny

only decant sounding v6 is one thats had pressure forced down its guys, still then cant beat the note of a 304

btw they make alot more than 115-120rwkw i think you got one of them 4 banger vn's

[Boonz]

not when theyre stock they dont.... you get a bog stock auto an youde be lucky to get 120rwkw

[VNCalais98K]

165 at the fly from factory, minus approx 30% drivetrain loss.

Yeah, i know a V6 still sounds weak next to an 8, but its a hell of a lot better than a 4...
Everytime a silvia or pulsar farts past me i cringe....

[AirStrike]

No a real 747.

You wont get that power mate. At the dyno day we had most of the 6's made between around 100-110rwkw.

I'm sorry but there isnt a good sounding 4L ford getting around they sound like **** and go like ****,, the only thing that sounds kinda tough is when u put an el-cheapo pod on them.
