It probably does make more power than the LSA but it's a case of getting all that power to the ground.

It's possible even those Pirelli 265's are too narrow for the Sprint's 650Nm...

Cars with similar torque outputs like the Jag F-type and AMG GT are both fitted with 295 section rubber.

But again, the title of this thread should be $63k XR8 vs $83k HSV, so people can see where their money is going... and we probably won't even see the XR8 Sprint tested against it's direct competitor, the 304kW SS-V as the results would be too embarrassing for Holden ;)
