RobSheffield Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Saw one of these today, looked awesome, but a little slow (i could keep up with him in my Pug - although we were in about an inch of standing water - respectful distances ) Apparently 420bhp http://www.jaguar.com/uk/en/xk/highlights/highlights/performance.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I got blown away by one of these recently. Search for me writing about nutters and Jags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 There seriously quick cars....a BPU supra would struggle to be honest. Its on my list of cars I would like to own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 There seriously quick cars....a BPU supra would struggle to be honest. Its on my list of cars I would like to own For that money I'd go with a C6 Z06. Loads of no lag fun without the supercharger whine and the smell of driving gloves.

dini_the_owl Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 you would have to spend a bit on one though IMO to make it not handle like a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 On the way to Squires the other night I was harrassed by an S-Type Jag it looked pretty mean (as in sports model) and it kept up with me although I was still pulling away slightly right up to 130 leptons. I do not think it would have had much luck if I floored it though as still to to fit my BCC. Impressive cars those Jags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 these are really nice. theres one in the station car park and i walk past it most days. well nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yeah the newer ones look OK but a mate of mine bought the last shape and they just look cack. They are too roundy to be a masculine car but way too huge and lumbering to be a hairdresser motor either. IMHO its for the 45-55 year old male in his pink pringle top thats never played golf in his life and can't figure out why he's never been married Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 There seriously quick cars....a BPU supra would struggle to be honest. Its on my list of cars I would like to own 420 BHP and 0-60 is 4.9 sec, isnt that sort of Stock TT performance with less BHP? I'd say a BPU would kill it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a BPU would kill it They pick up speed a lot quicker than a BPU I reckon. When I got pwned by one it took off in the same way that my local Vette nemesis does. Supercharged innit!

jamesmark Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Was it silver and did it follow you all the way to Squires? It was either black or a dark blue, it looked really nice. It was nose to tail from the Shell garage on the A1, then I statrted to pull away when it turned into 3 lanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I really like these and have been looking at them myself for a daily driver, mind you not the 420hp version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I really like these, but then I remember the last time we chatted about them ,Pete mentioned one of his mates had one and it had nothing but problems..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 On paper the jag seems to be tt manual esque performance. Just shows how bugger all has progressed in mass production sports cars in nearly 2 decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
