No other Australian built car has or will ever (since Ausssie doesn't build cars anymore) be able to compare. It has a legacy like no other car in the world. Even sitting still, they just look fast & mean
Welcome you are a wise man...yeah it stops and starts with the GTHO.

No modern car will ever compare to that ICON and absolute pinnacle of performance...

It's like comparing a digital photo to an oil painting....yeah the digital photo is crisp clear and might perform well...but the oil painting is artistic, revered, sought after, lusted after....
