In the latest issue of Motor they have an article (kind of mini PCOTY) where they took a large assortment of local Holden and Ford variants at Eastern Creek. They measured the lap-times, top-speed acceleration and even put them all on a dyno. All at the same place, same day and same driver. This is what they came back with:
Eastern Creek lap-times:
- Falcon XT = 2:05.97
- Commodore Acclaim = 2:03.90
- Falcon XR6 = 2:01.46
- Commodore SV6 = 2:00.61
- Falcon XR6 Turbo = 1:58.05
- Falcon XR8 = 1:57.86
- FPV Persuit Ute = 1:57.59
- HSV GTO Coupe (297kW) = 1:57.38
- Monaro CV8 = 1:57.21
- Commodore SV8 = 1:57.07
- FPV Falcon GT = 1:56.99
- HSV Coupe 4 = 1:56.74
- HSV Clubsport (297kW) = 1:55.96
- Commodore SS = 1:55.26
Eastern Creek top-speed:
- Falcon XR6 = 183kph
- Commodore SV6 = 183kph
- Falcon XR6 Turbo = 195kph
- HSV Coupe 4 = 199kph
- Commodore SV8 = 200kph
- Commodore SS = 201kph
- Falcon XR8 = 202kph
- FPV Persuit Ute = 202kph
- Monaro CV8 = 203kph
- FPV Falcon GT = 206kph
- HSV GTO Coupe (297kW) = 208kph
- HSV Clubsport (297kW) = 211kph
