Default Borla exhaust sound w/video

Saw this on eBay. I'm posting this because I thought others might enjoy the exhaust sound of the Borla exhaust. (skip to approx 7:30 in video).

I'm not a big fan of the custom wheels or paint job on this car, I'm actually offended by it! Glad they left the gullwing door hinges off too! But there aren't too many videos of a 2005-2006 XKR coupe so it's worth a look if you are a coupe guy...the car does sounds good.

P.S. Try to ignore the cheeseball exotic car salesman...22" rims, really?

Thanks for sharing, nice to hear a late XKR with a sports exhaust.

The rest of the car is vile, however, and the owner is tragic.

Is Stirling Moss sufficiently well known in the US to have a limited edition model named after him?

Known well enough in the US for a tip of the hat? Definitely. I don't know anything about this particular Jag edition, however.

And now, for your viewing entertainment, here is my very favorite photograph of Stirling Moss, taken about four years ago...

Where is Stirling Moss in that picture, or a car for that matter?

A few seconds after that picture was taken the car suddenly had a power bulge in the hood.

And why is that woman in the background conveniently blocking the view of the winners circle from her husband with an umbrella?

There is a Sterling Moss Edition jaguar, i remember seeing two when I was shopping for mine in 2007. I personally like the stripes, but the wheels aren't stock on that edition in the video, I think it had the BBS like the silverstone editions.

Appreciate the video. Hearing the exhaust was worth the all the head banging those creepy sales guys caused, but not enough to keep watching... ((shiver))
