2006 Jaguar XKR kill.........
First off....the jaguar xkr is a pretty bad *** looking car: I mean the thing has 399 lbs of torque with 390 BHP.....BUT....it was no match for me...actually got a call from a guy I work with his Jaguar S type was in the shop and he called me to brag he had a car to beat mine..I said..ok he told me they gave him an 06 XKR as the loaner....(pretty impressive of the jag dealer to give him a 90k car for his 48k car) anyway I digress...So we line up and (me still being gun shy with my newly found suprecharged power) he hit it and I eased it , LOL, is the best way to describe it...all in all...after about some pedal mashing and no official start stop point..I killed him....I still am amazed how powerful the XKR is stock...but I am even more amazed how my saleen series VI just seems to keep building power....through this whole thing it felt like my car (since the saleen) is being pulled rather than pushed...I mean the power is just so freaking smooth...anyhow..a kill is a kill...and I did chalk this up as such..we did the run from a stand...where he beat me at the launch...but as I admitted earlier I was easy on the launch....I regained traction faster (Obviously due to my ***** launch..LOL) whereas his car with the TCS turned off smoked and did not grip well...when I slowed up and let him catch up we went from a 40 mph rolling start and that freaking Jag was zippy but once my boost kicked in a second later again same results...it was fun...

Nice.... very nice....So T...didja ever get any final dyno results?? I'm curious as to where your are HP/TQ vs Boost level...
Ohh, BTW, I should be fineally getting my car back tonight after almost 3 weeks at the shop.., But she's gunna have to go back in for a day (hopefully only a few hours) cause we're gunna swap out the 5.5 lb pulley for the 9.5..and a belt and a quick retune...
