Incidently i raced HSV R8 the other night. Black one with the bonnet scoops, plates and rims. Not sure what mods he had it was really loud at idle. Gave him 3 runs from a roll. Beat him easily the 1st two times.

Finaly we lined up at 80ks i was in 3rd and thought ill just leave it and see how we go. We were even to about 120ks then i slowly started pulling and got a couple cars on him by the time we hit 150ish or so.
3rd gear comes in at 115ks which is when i think my srt started to pull.
After that he didnt want to play any longer, so he did his 'ricer' fly by

To this date ive only lost to a C63, 135i in stock form only from a dig, Worked XR6 Turbo Ute and an Evo 8 with every mod possible other than a new turbo, he beat me by a car in stock form. No chance now.
I still think the SRT6 is the best bang for your buck if u want a fast car
