She's not super fast.

I got a 2008 S-Type for my other car when I don't want to drive the 2004 XK8. They both have the 4.2 6 speed powertrain. The S-type is much quicker. Both cars are well maintained and in good shape. I wish I couls switch the performance. The S-type will chirp into second gear.

My XK8 will get going when the revs get up past 4500 or so in sport mode. The thing is that the way it is geared I can only redline it in 1st and 2nd. I don't know what the final ratio is, but it seems high. But it is fun sometimes to pass a slowpoke in sport mode and mash the throttle so it roars right next to them.
