Good Lord, another F6/GT/FPV vs R8/GTS/HSV thread from you?

The FPV clearly wins because it's marginally less feck-ugly than the HSV now that they've covered it in plastic crap, festooned it with vents and fitted those ridiculous-looking LED running lights. Seriously, they're like pornstar eyelashes...

I don't know if it's the fact that I've only had one coffee all day, but I am so completely over the whole Holden vs Ford thing.

Don't have to tell me twice.
I don't give a rats about what time mags pull for 0-100 and 0-400.
I just thought that with the claimed power and torque output of both vehicles (as well as the notoriously slow and unrepresentative times that mags pull from BOSS powered cars), the HSV would (should) have walked away with the acceleration silverware more convincingly.

Out of interest, what were the 80-120 times for both vehicles ?
