C'mon mate.

Gm's ls3 is a little bit better, but not that far ahead.
Engine capacity isn't the point here. If you want a big rwd v8, you either get a xr8/gt or ssv/HSV. So yes, you can compare them as they are targeting the same market.

If you want to get technical then yes, the 5.4 isn't that far behind. But it IS behind. Whether that's due to displacement or technology doesn't matter. Doesn't matter that its only 15kw/fractions of a section difference, in the public perception its a quicker (therefore "better") car.
