should beat the vn, only just though. the only car that seem to be a challenge for me is a vs v8 it hasnt got as much power but it is lighter. i would say it would come down to the driver

How do you figure that when the VN has the same power but less weight then a VS?? 
Its simple really flyen, yours has 180kw and 400Nm of torque and weighs around 1480kg while the SV6 is 190kw but only 335Nm of torque and weighs 1590kg. In the bag!!

i was refering to the VS weighing less then the VZ.
well my mates vp ss says it has 165kw in the manual(so he says have not actually seen with my own eyes). so i assume the vn has the same or less. and i can beat the vp everytime.
and im not 100% sure but i thought the vs has 170kw.

Flyens VN is a HSV tho, so it has the 180 motor (although a stock 5L with zorst and CAI is practically the same)
My car kept up with a VZ when the 6L was released. Quite sad on there part, considering he only chirped 2nd, i chirped 2nd and 3rd

its actully a 185i motor in that now 
also he now has 3.7 diff gears in it, so i reckon you'd beat the sv6 mike.

but hey, it can work both ways.
If the VZ had 3.7s i'd dare say it'd be very even. But i know which car would sound better
