[QUOTE="R-SPEC015, post: 13307093, member: 150928"] Although it's officially rated at 335kW it is understated as these have been dyno'd at 300 to 330 rear wheel kW. Ford and Holden (GM) don't want to be seen to be engaging in a power war and risk the ire of Government Authorities and public interest groups like the Pedestrian Council. We had a "Supercar Scare" here back in 1972 when a journalist ran a sensationalist report in the Sunday newspaper about V8 powered "family" sedans capable of 160mph down Conrod Straight at Bathurst (our annual 1000km "Great Race"). Governments threatened to stop buying their cars. Also, considering the rear rubber they have, 8" on the standard GT's and 9" on the R-Spec, they have more than enough power and can still get to 100kmh in 4.5secs. It's just amazing that we can get these 4 door sedans with a supercharged V8 with a full 3-year factory warranty. Sorry for the rambling! [/QUOTE]
