That was an objective,
measurable centre-of-gravity advantage as the ZB Commodore had composite panels when the other models did not -- it was quoted that the Commodore bodywork package weighed some 16-20 kg less than the Falcon or Altima bodywork packages. A huge difference in motorsport terms.
This was very quickly rectified by the Falcon and Altima being fitted with similarly composite panels ASAP at the next round, which reduced (but not eliminated) the difference in bodywork package weight, which was fair and reasonable.

This statement seems severely biased and hardly credible!
You will note there was less than a 1 tenth of a second difference between McLaughlin and Whincup in qualifying. That hardly suggests a substantial difference!
