Yep, it's for our car magazine. We are going to put the 5th wheel on it (if there is somewhere to fix it ) But, let's see what these 6.0 litres and 12 cilinders can do
BTW, according to Jaguar, only 398 of these where ever made. _________________ '83 924 2.6 16v Turbo, 470hp

Just came back from the abandoned Soviet Army military airport.
According to laptops and 5th wheel given data, 0-100kph took 6.5 sek and 0-200kph took 19.8 sec. The gearbox was automatic, this sucks for sportscar I'd say. The owner made some upgrade to suspension: replaced all bushings to polyurethane ones and wheels were 17" with 225/45 front and 245/40 rear Yokohama A539's. This made the car feel more accurate, and as owner said, he did this upgrade 'cause he got seasick with the old suspension
V12 was sleepy until reached 3500rpm but then kind of woke up or sth, it started to pull really hard, perhaps that is the reason for such moderate 0-100kph result. _________________ '83 924 2.6 16v Turbo, 470hp
