But then a F6 and a GT will hand a HSV its backside 9/10 down the strip, so it cant be suffering to badly. Any quicker and FPV's will be 11 sec cars off the floor.

I find that a tad scary...and exciting.

This would be an important factor except that I suspect more than 95% of people who actually care about 0-400m times don't buy either new Falcons or Holdens and more than 95% or people who do buy new Holdens or Falcons have no knowledge of let alone interest in drag racing.

Even here on AFF I suspect that less than 1% of our members have actually driven on a drag strip in anything let alone a new Falcon or Holden and of those, 95% just in a "test and tune" situation not competition.

Holden/Falcon/HSV/FPV are road vehicles so things such as comfort, handling, braking, reliability and or course emotional attachment are just as if not more important than outright acceleration.

If this were not the case then the GT would have stopped selling almost completely the day the F6 was release..........and it didn't......

This is turning into the ol HSV vs FPV Holden vs Ford debate that has been done to death. How many more do we need?

Judging by the amount of "expert" comments here there must be allot of people here who have owned both a VE and FG...
