Gee, I'm detecting a hint of negativity there Mr Madness (or maybe you're just generally angry?)
Just cos I like getting my calculator out:
V8 Supertourer site quotes HP @ 'around' 575 and weight as 'less than' 1300kg incl driver = 442 hp/ton
V8 Supercar, lets say a generally accepted 640hp and class weight limit of 1445kg incl driver = ...........wait for it........ 442hp/ton!!....well, actually to be honest I wasn't expecting that result
I doubt outright lap records were the motivating factor in the design of this car (Who really cares anyway from an entertainment point of view?) but the more you look at the numbers it does suggest that they're potentially very fast?
