Berlina V8

[PeterVX2]

I have the chance to buy a one owner VY Berlina V8 auto in good condition.

When I checked on the Red Book site which lists all info ( for registration ) on the vehicle, I was surprised to see a 0 to 100 KPH figure of 9.3 seconds !

Very slow, same time for a VX II or a VY II !

When I drove the vehicle it felt this slow.

My VX II Equipe V6 is quoted by Red Book as having a 0 to 100 time of 8.7

My V6 auto feels like a much more responsive motor, and they both have the same gearbox ratios and final drive.

Are the Berlina V8’s really that much of a slug in standard form ?

I realise I can get a tune done, but I cant see all that missing ( asleep ) torque returning with a few degrees extra advance lower in the rev range.

Appreciate any informed comments.



Cheers all

you'd be surprised what a tune will do especially with other mods like full exhaust system and otr expect 230rwkw+ and 0-100 in around 6 secs. If it felt that slow then somethings wrong.

I thought the Tuning Section / Thread might be a better place for the post.
