"S... an R34 GTT with equiv rubber, front mount, PFC and exhaust was 3 seconds quicker around Phillip Island then one of those big banger FPV GT Falcons...yeh Fords are so good :Oops: I cant recall the details but in the Bang For Buck and Performance Car of the Year Motor articles they normally get hammered by even the SV8 in outright lap times around circuits."
But did they mention the quaity? aestheitcs? ride? economy? resale? etc. Cars aren't chosen purely for their performance, which is something that many a Commonwhore owner has their focus on. Besides, a GT/GT-P makes more ponies than any holden. It was Motor themselves, that proved this. The GT had 220kw at the wheels, the GTS 200kw, the XR6 Turbo 180 kw. Who cares about the power at the crank? It is at the wheels, and more importantly torque that will get you places.
