Were the older model HSV's too powerful for what they can handle?

Anyone remember the lemon ad, cant remember it exaclty but it went like this, car mag called (I think it was the EA falcon) the car a lemon, and then ford came back with a ad saying "being a lemon isnt a bitter experience at all" I cant exactly remember how it all went but it was genious advetising.

Found it, it was the XD falcon, when wheels mag put on the front cover of one of there issues "Lemon on Wheels" about the XD falcon, in the next issue of wheels, ford ran an ad with a picture with the names of all the car models which missed out on car of the year written on lemons with the line: "there are times when being a lemon is not a bitter experience at all".
