seemed like the Maloo got off the line 1/2 sec faster so theres probably nothing in it anyway. 3rd party times up the 1/4 mile would be a better comparison than HSV marketing

I get your point but at least Holden/hsv do stuff like this.. Why not have any ford drivers showing off the gt-f or the video hsv did with murph & Cameron smith. Just a bit of fun really. Prob appeals to the bogan in me

Tander the cheating mongrel jumped the start, otherwise the sedan had him. Or maybe Percat was caught napping.

Yep because they took them to the track and only raced them ONCE lol scripted much

Was wondering how long it was going to take Holden to start banging the "FASTEST" drums.......after recently and very publicly loosing the "MOST POWERFULL" title to the mighty ford GT!!

And offer 100m sprints/brake tests with every engine combination, including drag races between XR8s on an a runway with people on board and one driver being a V8Supercar driver.
Compared to typical dodgy HSV marketing material.

I'm sorry but you really have no idea what you missed out on...

They were instructed to keep the drag short and down hill. Too scared to run out of fuel again.
