Oh, you must be looking at what was happening before 4500 rpm. He did not floor it until about 4500 rpm because it kept kicking down. There was quite a bit of gas pedal more and less happening before the 4500 rpm mark so you should disregard everything before that rpm.

Ah, that makes more sense. As far as the torque trailing off, that's normal. You almost never peak at redline, it'll trail off some.

Lol. It's a long story but the gist of it is that it's the license plate on my S550 which was kind of a dare/joke thing running among friends.

Of course the most famous evil genius to drive a Jag was Hanibal Lector and his black XJR.
