I'm a newbie to Jags so please be gentle in the flaming. Just curious what's so great about these VDP XJR's if no one can really tell the difference between them? Did they have more HP or something?

Thanks

It has the luxury of the VDP along with the longer wheelbase, but uses the XJR supercharged engine and components.

Mine also came with one size bigger wheels.

My 2001 VDP Sc also has Supercharged noted on the Tachometer as well as the trunk badge. I think this was only for the 2001 year.

How does the VDP supercharged compare to the handling of the XJR and the regular VDP?

Pretty much. And it comes with 17's. It's a VDP with the power of the XJR but without the XJR's better looks.

By the way, welcome over here, I've seen you on Rennlist.

I was just about to ask! The wheels look almost just like my 16" ones, but larger, maybe more aggressive! It looks sweet.
