Commodore acceleration

[saber]

Why are stock VN /VP (manual) commodores a good second faster then the manual VR/VS commies??? THe VS is about 75kh heavier, but has 22kw more power, yet is still 0.9s slower. How so?? Do the VN/VP engines have a different power/torque output then the VS?? Please explain.

final drive ratio's and throttle response remapping from ecu so vs is smoother and torgue curve more gradual.

Plus it is really difficult to simulate the same 0 to 100kph times years apart. Times vary as much as 1.5 seconds depending what report you read. On the Falcon forums the legend is that the fastest E series Falcon was the 1988 5 speed model which just happens to have one of the worst reputations out.

i was always told that the VN's were alot faster then VS"s as the VN's didnt have the ecotec crap on it
