Default 1997 Jaguar- Turbo Sound

Several users have ask for a video, more specifically, something making "noises". I tried my best to capture the turbo spooling up around 2000 rpm. Less road noise at the 2:30 minute mark and the engine and turbo much easier to hear. Peak boost on today's test drive was 9.7 psi and AFR still sufficiently rich under boost. The car has new life (I've owned it since 1999) and so much fun to drive; the "fun factor" reflected in the reduced fuel mileage.

FYI- I drove to Home Depot to buy motor oil, they carry common brands; Shell, Pennzoil and Castrol, half the cost of the auto parts chains.

Have you had any opportunity to compare the performance to an XJR? I wondered if you had done any 0-60 runs with it or done any other performance measurements.
