2001 Jaguar XJR

 :smitten:

Not much done to it, supercharged V8. Runs a 13.60 1/4mile and still styles. He ordered drop springs for it and pulleys with a ECU upgrade so it will be faster and lower. My two favorite things...hehe :2funny:

No bodykit, a good drop and some spacers would really set it apart :P

I will oblige; here are two of the +/- 2000 190E 2.316Vs imported between 1986/87. Both are dropped to the bottom, the one with BBS RGs is also turbo'd and puts 425hp to the rear :laugh:, street tune runs about 320, which is more than enough for a car like this that came from the factory with 190hp :coolsmiley:

425bhp from a 190

how the hell they achieve that???

Is that using the 2.6 straight 6 and a monster turbo

Actually it is a 2.3 16v. It was a limited edition car for homologation purposes (Think E30 M3), head development work by Cosworth. [b]This[/b] car has Eagle rods, JE pistons, standalone fuel management, intercooler, big turbo yes! ;). On 190revolution.net search under benzmac. He built the car a few years ago and really developed it well before he moved on to another project and sold it to my friend Rey.

it's ok I know my Merc's quite well, over here the 190 cosworth's are everywhere, we got them in 2.3 and 2.5L 16v versions, dog leg box.

Better still are the Evo 1's and Evo 2's, now they were real touring cars.

Even so 425bhp is looney, does he have many cooling problems, and what rear diff is he using???

That Jag has tons of potential...i like it.

And the Benz with the BBS is beautiful.

Ah yes, you lucky Bastard. I only wish we could get the 2.5 16v or EVO 2 here. Oh well... He uses a custom Griffin(sp?) radiator and that is it. I've cruised in it on a 80degree day and not noticed any cooloing problems. 

And the Jaguar has more than a little performance although its owner recently converted from the Mustang world so.... ;D Performance is still king. Here is his other Euro, recently sold to Cali...

By the way the stock rear diff is good to 500 HP. You can't get enough tire under these to break a diff. 

I absolutly love the Jag XJR's. One of my most favorite cars ever. Can't wait to see it when he puts on his goodies.
