I dunno, there's too many varying degree's of what's faster etc etc, but if for instance you take a stock VR and a stock VS now, I would have my money on the VS to take the win in a 0-100 dash...
but with what people are doing with there cars now, eg modding, tuneing, and other various things, as well as age been a factor I feel that there fairly evenly matched if both have been taken care of, and you are on top of keep it in prime condition...
Although i have heard a lot of people say the ecotec had lost a good amount of torque, as you simply don't feel like your being thrown back in your seat in a VS as apose to a VR...
but it's all a matter of opinion!
also i'm tired of these same quesitons popping up, cause there's too many people that get there back up over which is better, who cares!!! you drive a holden your already a winner!
