Default turbo jag

I didnt realize they had these untill Sat. night.

i was on the belt way with a friend of mine, heading to a club called HUSH,
when this jag pulls up next to me. Well this is when i find out they have turbo or twin turbos i think it is (i dunno maybe one of you can fill me in) so he speeds up and slows down right next to me and my friend is egging me on and im listining to some old White Zombie so i say f*ck it. We took off from about 90mph he stayed at my bumper for about two seconds, and from there up to about 140-145 i watched him get smaller and smaller.

well i slow down back to about 80 and i still see him coming pretty fast, he pulls up next to me with a grin from ear to ear, shakes his head, waves then exits. i could not help but laugh it was great.

guess some one should have told him about the camaros out there

oh and as for my friend he still white as a sheet, apperantly he has never been to 140 befor

sorry to waste your time, just thought it was worth talking about

You're certainly not paying for torque when you buy a Jaguar.

The output figures are powerful: 390 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 399 lb-ft of maximum torque at 3,500 rpm.

but thats probably at the flywheel.
