    What other cars were in its class at Dutton? I dont remember seeing an XR5T or a 225 Cup at the Sunday event, so what exactly has been proven? I dont even remember seeing a Gti there, but I could well be wrong on that.

    Great result on the skidpan nonetheless.

    Yes, we all know that. My point was they were promoting their product, so sometimes facts are flattered. It's called marketing. Either way, I like the car, am happy for the car and glad it was able to do what it did lol

Facts are truth here . not of an Opinon.

    The car was up against many different brands. Dutton rally consist of cars ranging form $30,000 to $300,000 motor vehicles.
    It actually fact a time from one event out of 36. If the HSV won everything, you'd have a point. I was refering to the HSV article as the opinon piece. Look its a good result, but dont take it too far out of context that suddenly there is no torque steer issue with this car. Dont forget Dean Evans is a sensational steerer

    I was out there on Sunday so I know the cars that ran. I was refering to the fact that the natural competitors for the VXR werent there
