I have a copy of wheels october 1998 and the HP XR6 5 speed ran a 15.9 and the VCT 5 speed ran a 15.7 for the 400m. The difference is the HP had very slightly better overtaking figs.The series1 XR8 5 speed ran the 400m in 15.2 but had buggar all in the overtaking performance to the 6 mtrs in the test ran by wheels magazine.
As a overall package the VCT with IRS was a better car to drive with less diagonal pitching no wheel hop and superior traction according to wheels testers.
