I must say Id take a Cobra over any HSV, I still think they look way better but I dont think Ford are going to compete with HSV in handling in this car with that huge 8 upfront but if they want to the F6 R-Spec can. Orion will be much quicker but how they work around the heavy V8 in handling will be interesting but I am sure the Orion F6 will give the 307 GTS a hiding around a track!!

Seeing as Motor achieved 13.9 from an XR8 back in 2005 I would have thought much better results from the Cobra. Maybe the badges weigh it down and the stripes ruin the aerodynamics..........
