When he visited us from Australia I took him out in my 450bhp 2wd Sapphire and he said he thought it felt quicker than a V8 Holden.
thats because it is quicker, weighs a good few hundred kilos less with not much less power.

Yes they are a different pricee range but no different to the corvettes, the Dodge Hellcat etc which is an amazing machine, so you wouldn't compare a Hellcat with 700hp to a C63? Of course you would, its trying to hit that market with home brand prices.
