Default Jag VS Pontiac G8 V6

So i had to share that im a bit proud of the jag today, a friend of mine has a Pontiac G8 V6 and we decided to head down to the river to take some pics of the cars and on the way i was able to talk him into a little fun race so we did a 50 MPH roll take off and the jag took a car length space and had no problem keeping it, i know its not much but considering i thought id be the one behind im really happy so chalk one up for Jag

Awesome did the intake give you any gain or loss in performance? Pretty impressive considering that the g8 has about 260 hp. Do you have an auto or manual?

Tell your friend he should've gotten the G8 GXP, the only Pontiac (sort of) worth having.

LS3 power!!!

I just sold my 2000 mustang that I had a 5.4 built with a 72mm turbo that put down 700 to the wheels that was a fun ride!

A rare firehawk is even better when it has a six speed and is a drop top. it's approximetly a 1 of 2 with the color and options.

My friend is a ford mechanic and is looking at buying a cobra mustang that has a crushed roof from the tornado that went through here and he was saying we should drop the cobra motor in the jag and convert things over I wonder if this would be a worth it project?
