Re: jag-lovers-digest V2 #662

Is this the anti-conversion thing again?  Everyone knows that the V12 is 
like a turbine that winds up really well, and with factory gearing to 
suit, will do big numbers.  Most will also have trouble getting more 
than a chirp out of the bags when nailed off the line.  A standard BB 
Chevy will smoke off the line and run out of steam before the 12.  Spend 
the same money on both and you will have a fast V12 and a real quick 8. 
 Who cares.  each to his own.  Over the 1/4, I'd back the 454, on the 
autobahn give me the 12.  And finally.......170mph??  Show me both 
hands.

83 XJ-S with a Jag V-12 in it.  The thing is though we will have to run
up to the 170 mph range.  I tell you what I will even run you in the 1/4
mile straight off the street.
