Default Jaguar XK8

Just had some cocky gobshite telling me 'mate, that car is old hat - if you had a mile start my (bog standard) Jaguar XK8 would still piss all over it'

My Cossie is a Stage 3 4x4 with a t34 turbo, 803 injectors etc

I reckon i'd walk it. Bring on Santa pod!!

lol uh huh!

Its a 4.2 running 290bhp....hmmm hardly making the most of it

Checked the stats 6.6 seconds 0-60. its a cabrio so it must weigh at least 12 ton

A standard cossie would smoke that.

Time the gauntlet was laid down

New X-type is based on a new mondeo.

Unless it's an XK-R he doesn't stand a chance.

Yeah an XKR is a different story. Aren't they about 400 brake? Not sure if i'd have much chance there. Maybe at Santa pod...
