When you get stats saying the SRT does 0-100kms in 5.2 seconds then you look somewhere else and it says 4.7 seconds, then you get the auto magazines saying "Oh the VE is the first aussie built car to crack 0-100kms in under 5 seconds" I havent seen anything at the track that would crack 5 seconds fact is the G8 or VE is a pig, its big, heavy and slow. the reason I dont care about stats is because on paper the R8 should keep up if not BEAT the SRT, so you tell me why I smashed him? maybe he wasn't the best driver but that would make a minor difference not 3 + car lengths. But hey it is what it is, each to there own I guess.
