I have to admit, I do love the VS series, very good car. Almost bought a 5.7 stroker Senator, but insurance was way too much. That had chip, cam, exhaust and headwork done, had over 200kw at the wheels. 4 spot callipers too.

I have an Auto V6 VN Lexcen and an AU. Both stock and the Lexcen has a gas conversion.
The Lexcen kills the AU but the AU is better to drive.
Last year I ran a 15.62 quarter in the VN at the Kwinana Motorplex.

Auto EA, EB and even ED Falcons do not come close. The AU is much quicker than them all. THe 4spd EA/B was slower than the three speed and both were around three seconds slower to 100km/h compared to the manual.
Even with the 4.0 litre the EB & ED were slow in auto form.

The VP was not quicker than the series I VN despite what Holden's figures state.

Against my Nephew's EL XR8 I stay in front up to about 140km/h.
His car is dead stock and is a slug considering it has an eight.

My VN was cheap and on gas, that's why I own it. It is loud and noisy but that just adds to the fun.
******** all you want the fact is if both cars are in good condition and stock the VN will hose any EA, EB or ED auto and it would take a well driven manual to just beat it.

As for the 125kW, the times achieved indicate this figure cannot be correct.

the 125kw is correct, they only make around 98rwkw for a good one, compared to the 4litre which makes around 110-115rwkw.
