VN: Power 125 kW @ 4800 rpm,
Torque 292 Nm @ 3200 rpm

VP: Power 127 kW @ 4800 RPM
Torque 293 Nm @ 3600 RPM

But ive driven a few of both and the VP definately feels slower.

VP's feel a little slower due to Holden taming the throttle response. Notice why VN's are so fun in the wet? Too many people were putting them up gutters and into trees...me? Ive always loved it

I'm a VERY proud owner of a VN Berlina V6 and it is definately quicker than the VP's. My cousin bought a VP, had it for a few weeks and jumped in my VN to go and grab some milk and was gone for 2 hours. He didn't want to get out of it. When he got back into his, he thought there was something wrong with it.
