Actually... it'd be pretty neck 'n' neck.

The powerplant is the LS1 Chev V8, and HSV are looking at the LS6 variant, hopefully released in the VY model range, out in another 2 years.

But lets face it, with very few japanese exceptions, who else, builds immensly powerful, rear wheel drive coupe's and sedans, and still manage to make them affordable.

BMW, Merc, and even Ford, eat your hearts out.
