haha it would be a joke for a VN to beat the new VE !

i dislike the rear styling, and dislike the front even more for making it look like a BA

Too rite mate!! There's more to beating a car than just the speed.. at least the VN looked origional when it came out, and not styled after a bad photo of a.... welll I can't bring myself to say the word, but Ba comes to mind..

This thread was going to start sooner or later, hahahaha

So... Can the VN beat the base model omega...???

At what??? Being a rough as guts under developed passenger box??? Yes, I think the VN wins hands down.

In virtually every other aspect - nope!

Well the VZ's went pretty crap, because of the weight. So I dont have too much hopes if the VE would be any better.

I spose we can only wait and see. One of us is bound to roll up to a set of lights sooner or later and have the chance to race a VE....

At work, there is a batch coming soon. When I go for a site visit, I'll take it to this little straight I know and give it ago.

Check out the latest Wheels magazine.

Has all the times. Basically on stats a VN would beat an omega, but the Calais V6, SV6 etc. would destroy a stock a VN.


So it takes the 195kw version to beat the VN, I even doubt that!!!

I'm going to try a VE SS today (uncle brought one):w00t:

The times in the latest wheels are pretty impressive for the 195kw engine!

Much better than the 8.3 seconds 0-100 for the VZ SV6 with the alloytec 190.

When I first saw the VE I thought what the heck it is a JAP car it is that darn short, where is the oversized bonet (length) and boot... hell I can put 2.9.m Length of metal in the car (with back seat boot thing down) and still close the boot ... like to see that in the new one ...
