Yes! I would suggest an 8 litre V10 and make the car's design remind you of a
cat shark... :-)

I bought my Jag, an XJS Coupe, just because of the V12 (before I didn't
really know what Jags were all about). The XK8 is a nice car, I like the
design but for me a V8 just does not cut the mustard. I think they should at
least supercharge the beast (no turbos, please).

There is some wisdom in that as I can tell from my own experience. I have
been running a computer magazine very successfully doing exactly what Kirbert
suggests (well, I didn't fire the research guys but I completely ignored
them).
