>> A Jaguar engine should have n*6 cylinders, everybody knows that. >With n = 2, of course. Well, I must disagree. I've had my XK8 for only a week, but already it has shown itself to be a great Jaguar. The engine is smooth and quiet. The accelleration is quick and strong. I'm sure the supercharged 8 will just flat-out kick the butt of any Jaguar engine produced to date -- except maybe the engine in the XJ220. On other fronts, the XK8 has: - great brakes - firm suspension - good handling in corners - more comfortable seats than the ones in the normal saloon. [But, they aren't as supportive in fast cornering as the seats in the XJR. For that reason, I prefer the seats in the XJR.] - a better ergonomic layout for the driver And, as with the other Jaguars I've driven, the XK8 gets more stares, waves, thumbs-up, and smiles per mile than any other car on the road. --- Stephen Kurtzman 1995 XJR 1997 XK8 Follow-Ups:
