And how big are the Jag V12's The six is 4.2 isn't it.

Cops suck!

And here in SA they don't stand a chance.

They drive 3.8's with upgraded suspension.

Hey, I wanna buy a VX R8 and give it this paint job, I think it would be sweet. Maybe skip the red on the grille, tho. . .

 

[Dudebusta]

police forget they are wankers with slow cars. the brizzy cops here put 400ci carbi chev motors in their SS persuit cars...dunno the power but i tell ya they outrun hi-po ricers with ease.

 

[jag_man_v12]

not by much the sedan is 95 mm longer and 1mm wider and i cant find the weight differance so its hardly any thing in it .. If you had a big fat passenger in one you would have more weight

 

[jag_man_v12]

dont you beleive the cop cars arent standard back when I uhed to Fit tyres we had a cop commodore in there once the suspession was diffent and the shoocks had been monted different and that thing could move

 

[jag_man_v12]

the sedan is 50 kg less weight so that would change with different drivers

most of the six's are 4.2 but some had 3.4 and even a 2.8
mine is a 5.3 the latter m,odel with the square headlight ( which were never sold here ) have it modifed to 6.0lt

if to want to compare cars goto www.drive.com.au click on new cars and then click on compare cars .. you can only do 2 cars at a time but it tells you every thing right down which car has the most cup holders

 

[jag_man_v12]

over in the west the cops use stingers which they throw on the road and blows out you tyres so your stuff doesnt matter what you have

 

[sliderulz]

6.0 !!

Sick,

Did you know that people put 350 Chevs under the bonnets of Jags?

 

[sliderulz]

Some Puncture Proof Tyres that this American Joint Makes

They're called Amerityres and are thick rubber so WA can stick there stingers up their arse !

yeah but then it no longer becomes a true jag its heavier than the V12 so the front sits lower doesnt handles as well puts more wear on the front end and devalues the car buy about $10000 but its quicker of the line but the Jag will pull it in at about 100ks and keep going so it depends on what you want.

I for one will not distroy a true classic if the motor stuff up it sits till I have the money to fix the V12

Don't you reckon the XJ220 should have had a V12.

the original prototype did but they opted for the V6 twin turbo smaller and less weight

 

[sliderulz]

Twin Turbocharge the V12 and you would have one mean machine with an exhaust note beyond comparison.

 

[Dudebusta]

HI-PO v12's have a weird note...i prefer the crack of an 8

 

[sliderulz]

MOTOR said that the award for the best exhaust note went to the Aston Vanquish V12.

But V8's sound very nice, My Val with the standard 225 has extractors with a pipe with one muffler and that sounds like a V8. Friend of mine heard it and thought it was an old Mustang!

 

[Dudebusta]

yeah the old 202ci kingswood motors sound great with the right exhaust setup

 

[sliderulz]

Who needs a gas guzzling 8 when you can have the same sound from a six!

and where am i going to find room to put them

 

[sliderulz]

Or supercharge it and stick it out the bonnet



A Jag with that stickin out the bonnet!

 

[sliderulz]

PS I meant the XJ220

 

[sliderulz]

Actually a drag Jag would be pretty cool, For the fact you can fit a huge engine under the bonnet.

 

[sliderulz]

And that they are nice cars.

 

[sliderulz]

You don't see too many nice drag cars, they're all commodores!

 

[SandStorm]

What, and Commies aren't nice drag cars?
