Until now, I thought our 2009 XKR Portfolios were almost identical. The speedo is another difference. Here's mine, in mph:

170 mph is 273.6 kmph

I remember reading about a 'slighty modified' xfr hitting just over 225mph at Bonneville

Where's the 190?
I guess the Speedos are different either year-dependent or non-r??? My ten goes up to 190.

I remember that from years ago. I also seem to remember that it was a stock engine and only aero added to the body. Course the tune may be different.....
I may be wrong. I'll blame my old brain if so.

Both of us have XKRs, so the speedo must have increased from a top speed of 180mph on the 4.2L to 190mph on the 5.0L.

Just another lesser-known difference between them.
