Default had my first stoplight race tonight

One of my sisters friends drives a Jaguar ZF and she was driving my sister home for me after dinner. We arrived at a stop light together and I jokingly chalenged her to a race to the next light. Well, I didn't expect her to go for it, but she did and man, that Jag smoked my LS pretty bad.


I did let her go first, because I really didn't think she would, but no way in a million years was I going to catch her ...... what kinda nasty motor is in that car ?

Do you mean XF? It probably was an XFR with the supercharged engine putting out around 500 horses. Definitely one big step above the LS in terms of speed.

On a similar note, a guy that lived close to me had an 07 XK8 and we would always see each other at the lights and go for it. Was surprisingly close (we're both around the 300 hp mark), good times

Not sure if This should be moved to the racing street encounter section or stay here

Stay safe out there!
