Default XJR S/C belt breakage .... driveable?

If the belt for the supercharger were to break could the car be driven without causing additional damage? Or would you need to get towed?

SC cars drive surprisingly well at low speeds without the SC belt. I wouldn't want to do any high speed driving, but the car will perform well enough to get you somewhere safe or to get the belt replaced. As long as you keep the speed down, you are not really risking damage.
