extremely exaggerated seems about right to me...
So if the SRT gets to 130 in 23.4 seconds and the XF gets to 130 in 32.2 seconds, then isn't the SRT 37.6% faster to 130 as a percentage of its elapsed time? Seems to me that 37.6% is not an insubstantial figure. In fact, that's the same percentage difference between a 0 to 60 of 4.8 seconds versus 6.6 seconds. And that, too, seems like a meaningful difference in quickness and speed. Having owned both models, I can verify that the SRT is noticeably faster, which is hardly surprising since it has 53.5% more HP than the standard XF.
