I remember Wheels testing one, and it was actually slower than the standard one

There was a lot of funny business going on with press fleet cars back in the day. I remember once an SS posted faster figures than a HSV model with the writer commenting the engine was "stronger" then he remembered....plus when the BA rumours started coming out, news leaked of it's 260kW output but no-one knew how much weight gain also took place due to much greater body strength blunting some of the performance gain ...and over in the "red corner" suddenly Holden's press fleet started posting greater performance numbers than previous versions.
