Take it to the track and find out.
A Jag S Type pulling up to the line will raise some
eyebrows I am sure! I've never see any Jag at the track!

Max top speed of 121 isn't the problem. (121 in the 1/4 is great for
a street car!) Engine has no torque!

Bingo, engine loses all it's torque. if you keep it in the red zone you might be able to squeeze high 15's, @ 90. Don't embarrass yourself at the track. lol.
Car is a "look at me" not a racer. Want to race and have torque, buy a G8[sm=badbadbad.gif]

The G8 GT. Yeah, I might get out of bed for that, but it is still FWD.
Nice to see GM can make and engine with more torque than my
21 year old Buick had stockand put it in a car that is under $50k! Too bad
they needed 2 extra cylinders to do it than my V6!

Just like the ricers with the fart can exhausts.
Just because it is loud don't mean it is fast but
most of them have not figured that out. Their
sound systems have more power than their
engines!

Hummm, the G8 is RWD?Nice!

Have to say I am OK with the Jag 3.0L.
Nice to know it still has something left
if you step on it @ 70MPH. Not a muscle
engine by any means but alsonice to know it
can get out of it's own way when needed!
