wait, 14.7 from 400hp? How the **** does that work?
they are quite a heavy car... about 1750kgs or something... and the auto box is pretty pox.
it says 14.78sec @ 98MPH on the slip...
Holden has a HSV GTS which is the same engine and supposed same output but with a claimed 0-400m of 13.7 for the auto... but HSV is the special vehicle section of holden.

I think the guy was full of **** saying he was pushing 400rwhp. More likely 400FWHP which converts out to 325 rwhp with a 14.7 is still slow but a little easier to swallow with a bad driver.
