I think the Aussie spec doesn't get launch control apparently, which costs it about half a second.Still quicker than the HSV of course.

It runs 0-60mph in 3.3s with LC / 3.9s without. LC overuse has f*cked up gearboxes and caused a warranty sh*tfight. As a result, ALL the new '10 models won't have LC.

oldraven The guy from that other colony Member 157 Member For: 19y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: Goshen, Guysborough Co., Nova Scotia, Canada Posted 04/03/09 08:18 PM Share Posted 04/03/09 08:18 PM I wonder how much it would cost to buy an LS7 crate motor over the cost of an HSV Clubsport R8, or any other LS3 powered HSV. Would it be better worth your money to swap it yourself and sell the unused LS3? Let's not think about warranties. $150k?!?!? Australian dollars are insane.

The power has got nothing to do with these people are buying the car. They want a "rare" big beefy V8 that sounds a million bucks that very few others have.Same reason that I'd buy an F40 over F430 / 599 or that people pay 500K+ for a Ford which probably gets spanked by an XT.You cant keep saying "tune only FG would beat it", cause that's like saying, haybusa will chop 99% of street fords.
