I always put it down too being a cooler place?? I could be wrong?? I've never been to NZ. so really the R-spec clocked 12.3 sec down the quarter???
as for the comment about the king of muscle cars has too be able to handle as well as be fast in a straight line. well what was the phase 3 GTHO?? It wasn't the best handling car, what made it special was its top speed. Its is considered the King of Australian muscle cars. In modern terms the R-spec takes the cake. It is as close as we will get to a modern day GTHO. no HSV GTS has beat the FPV GT-R spec yet in straight line acceleration

till the GTS beats this and even wheels tested the GTS and only managed 12.7 or 12.8. It is NOT AUSTRALIAS FASTEST CAR!! maybe the GTS should stand for = Government Tax Support. I'm with 1TUFFUTE on this one!! show us the real world times!!! not some poxy estimated or claimed time!!!
