Default AUII XR8 Vs Commode VT II SS Wheelsmag.

A good write up courtesy of Wheelsmag.

Quote:
For Aussie V8 buyers pride depends largely on two things, power and time. Every kilowatt added, every tenth of a second subtracted. Already whipped once in a comparison test by the VT Series II SS, Ford has a new, smoothed-over and powered-up AUII XR8 to make up for lost time. Ford has beefed up its V8's previous numbers, 185kW and 412Nm, to more satisfactory 200kW and 420Nm. The image makers have also been at work, the XR8 sporting a refreshed front-end, spoiler, 17in alloys and optional body kit

May I ask what is a limited slip cliff? Is it a typo, or an embankment that isn't probe to mudslides in heavy rain?
