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.

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....
