I like the car, but the reality is it couldn't come close to a HO on most roads or tracks unless it rained or the gt ran out of tyres.
not sure if it was 7 seconds (at racing pace anyway), but a standard xu-1 never beat a standard ho at bathurst in the 500 - but as you suggested a slightly modified one only beat it because of rain - it still won, but it needed outside circumstances to do it
