I have the Motor magazine with the lap times the FG GT did at Winton and it was not the supercharged 335 Boss as stated here.
It was a Series 1 FG GT with a normally aspirated 5.4 Boss 315 1:44.21 and it was tested against the older BF2 GT which lapped Winton 1:47.23

I am a bit late to this party but the engine is underrated and has been tested to somewhere between 360 to 380kW. The engine computer overall limits the output.
Additionally, a newer version with a tightened up chassis has managed a 4.7 sec 0-100km/h (0-62mph) dash.
Not bad for a nearly two ton beast. And I love mine.......
