and last but not least , other day drove a 2013 camaro ZL1 supercharged, with 6 speed AUTOMATIC, yes i was in for a treat, it was fantastic, automatics have come a long way,
aint know way you gonna shift a manual down a couple-three gears in one split second, like on a hi-way roll!!
you be playin round with the shift lever trying to find the right gear!

even the drag race crash boxes dont go down shift easy, sometimes not at all.

your right this topic for another thread!
'merica might love slushboxes bug Are 5-10yrs behind the rest of the Planet on transmissions and no other country would accept such subservient products.

Enjoy while they still exist..

yeah I couldn't see why the equivalent ML with the om642 engine was 20 grand more
These new diesels are amazing the thing will spin all 4 wheels if I turn of the traction control even with 20 inch wheels LOL

Would love a new XJ with a twin turbo diesel in it economical and Fast love that 720 nm of torque at 1900 RPM in my Jeep when it gets up of the lights feels like the hand of a giant slapped you forward

My boss Gene Burns,

Has a 1997 XJ6 Jaguar that has the original motor in great condition but the body needs a lot of work to be done.

He is actually in search of a 1997 body style jaquar or close to that age frame that he can drop the motor into.
If any one has any suggestions or know someone selling one please let me know.


Thanks in advance,
Donna Farkas
