The low end torque is what does it for me in my STR. I have lost count of how many BMWs were totally surprised at being passed by a 4,000 lb. four door Jag.
I have also hit about 155 mph on my favorite lonely stretch of road in SFLA.

No XJ or XK for that matter but I must say I wish I could have driven my x-type over 100 every day...the thing feels great...mine wouldn''t go any faster than 131 though (although most are around 124.) My little brother also couldn''t believe how fast we were going...only thing that made you realize were how fast you drove by a couple cars in the far right lane...fastest I''ve been lately is about 70 here in the dfw area...

...although haven''t driven the x in a long while...

BTW 03jagstr I love that car of yours...the hids and that color of the str is surely my favorite!
