WTF is one of these? I saw one today, assumed it was the standard pensioner-mobile but it had a chrome SVR (I think) badge on the back. 99% certain it wasn't an XFR.

I've heard tell that in a roll-on acceleration test from 60-ish, there's very little in it between one of these and a standard 6.0 VXR, if the VXR was in 4th gear and perhaps not expecting to be called to task?

Sure it wasnt just the SV8? Dont think an SVR exists.

Bet it was an SV8. 416bhp and similar weight to the Monaro. An XFR would have handed you your arse on a plate.

Ah, hadn't heard of the SV8. As above, I definitely don't think it was an XFR - it looked lke a very ordinary XF.

XFR's are reasonably easy to spot, sure they have quad exhausts on the back aswell, and as said above they are mega quick, seem alot quicker than the power they are meant to have.
