I believe even holden is starting to push the power limits though - someone with a bit of sway behind them will rally against power outputs of 300+kw and before you know it, there will be a huge following of the general public calling for the reduction of high output figures. And further down the track both camps will be saying 'this car is rated at 270kw' but actually prob does closer to 290 etc. A bit like the phoon i guess - what its rated at and the power it makes will be alot different.

They jumped on it cause it made 550nm, the highest an Australian car made at the time. Scruby also said that it can get to 100kmh in 2nd gear?
: (Even an XT can do that). The GTS has the same amount of torque now and 37 more kw, and no one says anything. Why? They have also come out in the media and bragged about how fast they can go. If Ford did that they would be bashed from pillar to post. I just don't understand how one can talk up speed while the other tries to be responsible, but the do gooders jump on the ones who are trying to be do the right thing.
