How much faster is VS?

[greenfoam]

No a series 2 VN is about the same as the series one

is there really a .9 second difference in serious 1 and 2, cuse iv driven both and they feel pretty much the same

Its a 0.1 second difference according to the figures if you read my post up further ^^^

VS is a lot more refined car defiantly.
I have had both. VN's are as rough as guts, rattle and sqweek. My VS never did this, but then again it was newer. Handling was similar, but i had both lowered and they both had live rear axel.
If you can, find a VS manual not auto. They are so much quicker its not funny, i wish i never sold mine:cry:
My VN was a manual, but the VS still felt quicker and they both had the same mods.

0-100 and 1/4 mile times in Wheels both favoured the VS auto over the VS manual by a tenth or so of a second.

I bet that was a series 1 not 2.
series 2 manuals had the getrag box which had different ratios compared to the T5 box.
The gears were shorter giving better acceleration.

i own a vn series 1 and i've never been beaten by a 6cyl vs other than a s/c. The manny's are quicker with the series 2 box in the vs's yes but not quicker down the quarter than a vn with the old shitty hydraulic trans.

i drove a standard VS manual once. don't know if it was getrag or not, but the gearbox did feel different to my T5, so it may well have been. and boy did this thing FLY.

only problem was i had a budget, and to get a VS manual i had to fork out. and i could afford this one, but it was a piece of ****. Instead, i have my beautiful VP Calais manual

But yeah my next car? VS Calais converted to manual... man that'll be sweet

Even better yet..a Super 6 converted to manual:driving:
I was looking into doing this before a bought my VX, but in the end i wanted an 8:bow:

But i still stand by my word, that a good series 2 manual VS will out run the old VN.
