For those interested, unbiased "reliable" source.

Will be interesting to see how the XR8 would go :s4: I bet it will be the fastest out of the three. The guys at NRMA test them differently than weird car mags.

It read's pretty much the same as every other review to me.

interesting fuel consumtion figures... SV8 quite a bit more of a guzzler on average.

Also good to know that the heavier XR6T has the brakes to go with it's performance.

14.9 seems a little slow for the quarter, but the in gear accelaration times look good.

Do they have a passenger in the car and full tank of fuel or something when testing quarter times?

For the XR6 - they've either got the consumption figures around the wrong way of they drove it round the city sedately and caned it on the highway hehehe.
