Has anyone raced their GS 430 aganist a Jaguar? XK8,KXR, S-Type, XJS? My wife is interested in the XK8 convertible and i was wondering how well Jaguars perform against a GS 430.

Hmm, I was wondering that myself. I believe the supercharge XJ8 has 370 ponies and does 0-60 in 5.2 secs if I am not mistaken.

Last time I went to Willow Springs race track and saw a XJ8 parking on the side. The driver didn't drive his car on the rack. (kind of disappointed) Not sure how's the handling of Jag. I heard it's not good.
