Umm no. Don't you watch racing on TV when they put V8 supercars along with Lambo's, Porches etc etc. The V8 laps the Lambo several times. V8 are simply superior on the track. And whats a taxi got to do with anything?

Hahaha, I think you've missed the budget part - the V8 Supercars* are around the same price as the exotics and bear little resemblance to the production vehicle - heck, the shells are removed from the production line even before all the sheet metal is attached.

I think he was pointing out that many Holdens (and Fords) are used as taxi's. But then, so are BMWs and Mercedes in Europe...

* I suspect you're thinking of the "Nations Cup", I think it was called - many different exotics racing - there were two "Holdens" which were basically stripped out supercars with what were effectively LS7 engines. Two were actually made and Holden did wish to make more for customers bu their management killed the project. IIRC, the basic road version was either $250k or $500k - and they had a lot of deposits.
They were bloody quick but hardly what you would call a production car.
