Here is the article Title and first sentence in the Auto-Scape.com article on 98-03 XJR:
1998-2003 Jaguar X308 XJ8(R)- An under rated scorching luxury Saloon
The Jaguar X308 XJR is a fabulous under rated machine and should go down in automotive history as a thoroughbred.
Also has a paragraph on Dissapointments and what would we have done better?
relatively cheap to make modifications to the XJR powertrain to get a lot more power. The supercharger is only driven at 2:1 drive ratio and the peak engine revs are 6150 rpm (the naturally aspirated engine revs to 6800 rpm). Eaton says the M112 has a peak rotational speed of 14000 rpm- which means there is some room to increase pulley ratios for more power if you’re willing to change the supercharger drive belt more often.
