Tested against Holdens 317kw 6.4lt monster, the FPV i6 310kw 4lt won on the quarter mile by a car length..
http://media.drive.com.au/?rid=39085 Ford did 13.1 and Holden 13.2 So it's official.. Holden got its a** handed to it by an i6.. 
So the fastest holden you can buy, is slower than the fastest ford you can buy. |

It's not the first time. The old Hemi265used to be quicker than the Red and Blue V8's. If I remember rightly, the original XR6 was also quicker than the XR8 and Holden V8's of the time. |

That's just a VE body with an American Corvette 7 litre big block in it..
Plus it's twice the price and as I understand it.. not actually on showroom floors yet. We don't actually have any speed details for that.. It is rated at 370kw.. but it's also gonna be a heap heavier than the other two... (it has uprated everything and magnetic ride control.) Will see.... |

clubsport VE R8 is a 6.2 litre.. not 6.4 litre... and the frord mayby slightly faster.. but each to their own on people that are either die hard 6 or 8 lovers.. with the amount of aftermarket mods available today.. either one can gain considerable power...

Nah the s-xr8 was just like 4 to 6Kw more then the S-xr6 U were talking about the Eb s-xr wernt you? they were the first of the xrs made? |

Yeh but those times are slower than what we're talking about here.
The HSV beats both those times, as does the FPV. |

I never quite trust journo times anyway, the BA XR6T was listed as a 14.2 quarter mile iirc and I got a 13.83 out of mine.
