4 door Jag vs. Me
I was going down a 4 lane road, this Jag comes up next to me and starts hitting the gas and looking over at me. We were already doing about 40mph, but I said what the hell and bit, my car took off. Actually had a lot better reaction than usual, I guess changing my spark plugs really helped. I pulled like 3 car lengths on the Jag and backed off because of traffic. He didn't even try for any more, he rode behind me and then turned. I just found it funny having a luxury car try to race me, still doesn't beat having a Toyota with handicap tags trying to race me.

Nice kill. Watch out for some of the newer "R" models. Like the XKR, XJR, and the ugly S-Type R. Don't worry about the X-type R.
They're pretty quick, but some, if not all, have some kind of electric throttle, so there is a slight bit of lag (split second) before the power rushes in. Remember that from a roll.
Also, keep an eye out for older jags with a mean sounding exhaust, it just might have a chevy under there!
I was planning to get an old xj6 with a 350/350 before I got my firebird. It's okay, because my dad let's me take his XK8 'vert out now and then. Even the n/a "old" AJ8's (4.0 vs. newer 4.2) are pretty quick.

yeah but does your car weigh over two tons no. is your car four door no. does your car have a straight six i would hope not . so considering i would say it was a pretty good set up. it is a 95 the first year they made them and one of only 250 in america, so i am told i have not searched for it. but over all i am happy with it any more questions????
