Just wondering guys, what goes harder, a stock vn v6 auto or a stock vs v6 auto?
Just wondering guys, what goes harder, a stock vn v6 auto or a stock vs v6 auto? and also, is there any noticable power loss having a vs acclaim due to the added weight?
VN when they were new. If you had to choose which car now though, get the VS it's easier to make go faster
how do you mean? cheaper, or easier? lol
You'll have to ask the VS boys how much power a bolt on VS makes but you wont get much more than 115rwkw from a VN. The VS responds better because it has better heads
Vn is 120 something KW, a VS have 147KW ecotec. Vs definietley goes harder and does not weight much over the vn.
vn is way faster from factory just depends on the condition of the two
VN is 125 KWs and is the lightest commodore made. The VS has no chance off the line the VN will crush it and alot of VS VT VX want to drag from 40km up and the wack it back into first but they have electronic gearboxes and a VN has a Kickdown cable so still the VS has no chance even if the VS puts it into first before the VN does no dout the VN will change faster because of the cable driven kickdown. you can put a VN into first gear practically when ever u want. wouldnt advise anything over 60 unless its work or something. the VS might beat the VN up high say 3rd gear over 120km but who wants to get up to 120km and drag its off the line that counts and a VN will take a VS anyday. and there 6-7years older.
~ VN POWER ~ Click the scales
VNs these days can take on VS to VY and stick with them or eat em so when u gonna pay out your A#$ on a VS or anything newer might as well get a VN VP Cause they also look tougher and where not going to start another thead about what is better VN or VS lol
~ VN POWER ~ Click the scales
VN all day everyday. VS does have better top end, but VN owns down low with 92% of max torque available from a measly 1200rpm.
Also, the Ecotec engine in the VS is a POS, the VS I had had alot of cooling issues and I had alot of problems with the engine. The VN just goes forever.
The VS is newer though, and overall a nicer car but I'd get a 5L VS if anything, steer clear of the VS V6.
Lightest large commodore made ^^ VL was a few kg's lighter.
You have obviously not driven a VN mate.
92% of max torque available from just 1200rpm, the VN owns down low. The ecotec is a horrible engine, and put me off ever buying a V6 commodore again after I owned my VS. It is not as reliable as the buick which will soldier on all day, it doesnt take a thrashing very well and the cooling system is not very reliable imo, every VS i've driven runs much hotter than my VN (double). Perhaps its because they rev so high compared to the buicks. The VS has a better top end from factory, but not enough to beat a VN down the quarter or to 100 unless its a sh1t VN.

Haha, little bit bias......:P
The VS V6 is great backed by a T5, i know they are quicker![]()
stock, the VN will beat the VS everytime from a standing start to 100km/h, i should know, i have both.
manual is definitly better, no matter what model.

hahahahaha dejavu, i just posted in this thread in another section
VN brother, beat the VS anyday..... i know, i got both, hahahahahaha, thats the 2nd time i've said that in 2 minutes hahahahaha

what goes harder??????? I DO!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL
I like how he asked it in both sections to see if there was any difference. I was wondering how many VS owners were going to assume the VS was quicker without really knowing about VN's. I still say the ecotec has much more potential in NA form, anything from a big CAI to a exhaust to a cam makes a big difference on a ecotec. On the earlier motor all those things are only worth half as much. You will allways have to play catch up against the VN being lighter which is a big issue with a V6. A live axle exec VS isn't tooooo bad for weight but you wouldn't want anything heavier than that
Go The Vn Bracause I Own One,all Depends On Driver And Car Condition.isn't The Vh The Lightest Guys?

wow, this is surprising... i've always heard people bagging out the 'buick' v6... seems it's on the contrary... glad i have a vn haha![]()
lol i think there are to many threads on what stock car goes harder lol.....
its a stock v6 it goes as hard as a stock v6 and thats not very hard lol
wrecking VL COMMODORE 5 speed
FOR SALE : supra 5 speed box suite holden v8 $800
it's a simple fact of life, more weight is harder to shift, yes the later models have more power but gained more weight then power to move it, they got slower of the line, yes they may pick up better from 100km plus but then 100km is the max legal road speed so whats the point really. go find the official holden times for VN/VP/VR/VS all the way to VE for 0-100km/h. that should about cover it
