Default Performance figures XR8 ute?

Hi,
My mates bought a Falcon AU XR8 manual ute (possibly the only one over here), which is fun to drive, so we took it out on a runway recently and got passed by damn near everybody... We've had a look online, but we can't find any mention anywhere of how quick its supposed to be.
So what are the 0-60 and top speed figures (& why are they not reported in magazines?)
Cheers
Jon the Pom

Generally around mid 6 seconds to 100 and 14.5 on the quarter mile.
Not the fastest things around however strong torque and that V8 note make for a fun drive.

Keep getting asked and I hate having to make it up!
we think shes down on power, but definitely a hoot to drive!

I think they are limited to 180km/ph.
