Visit the site below and scroll down to "strathclyde" in the left hand column. Take a look at the bmw 330 in police livery from the back and you'll see what I mean

what did you have billinohio? Me and my friend went 0-70 in 36 seconds in his 53 meadowbrook with 3 on the tree and the ol staight shooter 6. The top speed is a whopping 75 MPG downhill with a good breeze behind us. Atleast until we put the Polyhead and OD on it. i love old muslecars, just no time to build one till i get out of school. Bought the jag so i could ride in style in the mean time!

I have slowly learned that no matter how fast you are going, the person you passed 10 miles back is sitting right beside you at the stoplight.Only on long stretches of highway for long periods of time does it benefit you going faster.

I've gone around 105mph with the X-Type on I-5 on my way to Fresno. This tricked out Honda Civic Hatchbackwas going back and forth taunting me, so I shifted into 4th gear and all I saw after that was his 12,000K HID's behind me.
I didnt think I the X-Type would handle so well and be so stable with 19 inch wheels. I was pretty impressed with the Mastercraft Avenger ZHP tires, pretty sticky.

2002 /2.5/ auto, 133 in 4th; 128 in 5th,right against the limiter.
Fastest I've gone on 4 wheels (me driving ) was 173.67 average over three laps, with 188.01 on the mile-long backstretch on a Nascar comp license run...no other cars within a mile, though. For comparison, that is 30 miles an hour faster than my plane was!
Fastest I've travelled (someone else driving) 2014.0 kph.

I acquired a nice old Powerbook loaded up with the Jag dealer's software and the appropriate "talk to the car" cable. While installing new toys, I disabled the limiter.
The doctors gave me special permission to drive the car to my mechanic for the end of the accident repairs, a new headliner, and my state's equivalent of the MOT.
First run was 120 MPH...the second, well...
Still on Corona knockdown at the time, not another darn car to be seen in front of me, and only my wife behind...brave girl kept up with me to 100, then chickened out.
Even with the limiter opened, it does limit at 153 mph...but coals to Newcastle...the 3.0 with the slushbox just plain ran out at 139 in 4th. That was all she wrote...I'll touch the middle of the orange...but not taking it up to redline.
On a related note, it now also needs a water pump and tensioner.
Oh well, speed costs money,son. How fast do ya wanna go?
No hurry on the repairs...doctors say probably another six weeks before I can drive yet...
