The local car show on TV punted a number of cars around a race track and
the
figures are as follows:

Porsche 911 - 54:23 Sec
Subaru WRX STi - 54:29
BMW M5 - 55:70
Ford XR6 Turbo - 56:90
Commodore HSV Clubsport R8 - 57:29 (VERY similar to the Monaro)
HSV Maloo R8 - 57:59
Mini Cooper S - 57:67
Audi TT 3.2 DSG - 58:17

See? I told you the (inline Six) Falcon was good.

BTW: I happened to accidentally record Top Gear a few days ago. They just
happened to be comparing the Monaro, the Chrysler 300C (The ugliest sedan
on
the planet, BTW) and the Jag. They loved the Monaro. Can any Poms tell me
roughly when the episode was aired in the UK?

Maybe as much as a year ago. They *still* love the Monaro too. Not least
for
value for money reasons.

The 300C is a joke. Americans don't understand European concepts of style
and
taste. Not to mention we prefer cars that can go round corners properly.

And presumaly the Brits do?

There's a beauty...
