I regular at the restaurant I work at came in today with his new 2003 Jaguar XKR convertible. It has a 4.2L V-8 Supercharged 390hp/399tq, 0-60 5.3s. Well he took me for a ride and I was impressed. It pins you to your seat, and 0-90 goes by real fast. Although the car pretty nice, there are back seats, but when the front seats are all the way back, the back seat have literally 0 leg room, I mean they are cushion to cushion. Its not something I would pay 90k for, but I was pretty impressed with its performance, although it can only spin the tires for about 2 feet, even with traction control off, but hey, that means it can really hook up.

 

You can go 0-90 real fast in your truck. Visit www.vortechsuperchargers.com and http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...9650truck.html

 

I got to drive a new M3 over the weekend, with suggested permission that I could explore it's potential a little bit.

Let's just say if I hit one of those big lottos it would be on my list of things to buy soon.

LOTS of torque, paddle shifters, lots of torque, great handling and lots of torque. What really amazed me was the way the car pulled when the revs were kept down. I expected it to pull as the revs rose, but the low rev torque was like a boosted or big block car... simple awesome.

I didn't drive it very hard, but the owner did a blast from about 45-100 or so.... judging by the SOTP chrono/dyno it went by fairly quick.
