Yes, I did 170mph and 150mph blast, car was still pulling hard at 170mph but I got scared..lol CHP catch ya at that speed and your going to jail RIGHT NOW!
These dam cars LOVE to run!




"Higgins' looking sharp in that Vegas Sun!





Had a little fun on Saturday night!

 

It's that tune!

 

Curious ..any shaking at that speed? what was gas price per gallon in Vegas?

 

Did 125 for a few miles the other day in my 04. Feels like your walking when you come back down to 75-80....

Can't wait for the XF parts to arrive....

 

>what was gas price per gallon in Vegas?

It looks like $7.99/gal... =:-0

WTF
================================================
Jaguar - it's not an automobile, it's a Motorcar
'08 Jaguar S-Type 4.2

 

Look above at the sign that says "Street Legal Unleaded Racing...." and Competition 100 That's about right..

 

Agreed!

 

NONE, but the road irregularities are magnified for sure.

 

Did you notice ANY seat of the pants difference with the 100 octane. There is a station near me with 110. I didn't really...
I notice I have a faster car with a fresh coat of wax, not so much with the 110 gas

 

Not really, most newer computer controlled cars won't give you a seat of the pants + with racing gas, what your trying to do with the higher octane (which burns slower) is let the computer max out your timing, that in turn will give you better performance across the total rpm range. Most newer performance cars Have what I like a call a party mode. or
The Air is cool
The gas is good
No check engine light
No faults held in memory
You've already got on it a few times
So the Computer keeps the fuel and spark in max performance (Party mode) until something poops the party, like detonation (It can hear it way before we do) then the computer goes into PROTECT mode killing the timing, adding fuel and killing performance. IDK about the Jag, but for my LS Camaro to go back into party mode you had to put in at least 4 gallons of gas in it or drive 20mi without the computer hearing any detonation. . Oh and unless you've had a tune, your computer won't see octane higher than 101.
