Im really curious if anyone has driven a JAG XJR V8 supercharged with 370hp that runs mid 13s stock. Either raced or driven one? I have driven both EVO and the XJR, I drove them in two completely different times so I cant remember exactly how they compare in performance. I know that they are two completely different cars, I just want to know how they would compare performance wise.

 

Its noice but I can't get over the fact of a Ford F150 HVAC and window buttons, god damnit FORD!!!


XJR can launch quite easilly wothout drama and has the same supercharger as the SVT Lightning, so upgrades are that easy as well. From a roll this car SHOULD run away from an Evo. Could take one outa the hole too.

 

I have actually driven a XJR, we used to own one. It's a very fast car, but it's very large. It got to 60mph from a stop in about 5.2 - 5.4 seconds (using a crappy electric in-car speed measuring device). I think Jaguar claimed a lower 0-60 of 5.1seconds though.

The only problem, I've never driven, or even riden in, an Evo. I can tell you the XJR is very very very fast. The cars I came up against in the XJR (and beat) were Lexus GS400, Lexus LS400, BMW 540i Auto, E55 AMG (the 2000 model), Grand Prix GTP, Auto C4 corvette, Mustang GT, Honda S2000, and probably 2 dozen other cars I can't think of at the moment.

P.S. The new Jag XJR has 390hp. There's also an S-Type R, which is the S-class Jag w/ the 390hp V8... even faster.

 

I've driven it. The evo would take it in first gear, but after that its all jag. The jag will spin the rear tires with the traction control turned off. Its hard to feel when the tranny shifts on the jag, just constant acceleration. My buddys best time in his is 13.4 at 111mph stock.

The XKR is the one to have (two door, a lot lighter)

 

the 4 door is WAY more pimp and the interior is just so nice, Just get a smaller pulley and make that fawker 450HP

 

Thats what I thought, I guess not and what people are running them with Intake, exhuast and pullies are still low 13's supposedly, this car is actually very had to get into 12's without spending serious MONEY

 

I strictly like the XJR look, NOT the new one either.

 

Heres the link to show the XJR is actually not the tuneable:

So buddy has an XJR that ran a 13.4 at 111 STOCK?? What year was it?

 

im sorry to say but the jags time is over, there not that popular anymore. For the price, its not worth it, even if you have money, the car is not that cool.

 

I hate that, I just love how the car looks well over any luxury car. (personal preference) An 02 is as much as a brand new 05 EVO, what yu think?

 

not even talkin 2000's, i' liked them in the 90's (personal pref)
I used to hate Benz's, now i love 'em
Bimmer's have been awesome in the last couple years as well
Im just saying, te Jag needs something new to compete w/ luxury these days
agree?

 

Agree, The one of the reasons I like the Jag b/c no one has one. Everyone drives a BMW and MB. Rich and poor people, they'll drive a 10yr old BENZ just so when someone asks them "what do yu drive" "MERCEDES", A social status also known as insecurity for some people. So BMW and MB have been disgusting me lately b/c everyone drives it. GROSS

 

The owner of Easy Street Motorsports (Subaru tuner) ran 12.9 in his XJR. Not sure what his mods were.
BTW, I love the new all aluminum XJ series. They are much lighter than the German competitors and drive much better than the old ones.
