Makes me want to win the lottery and get myself that Hennessey CTS-V I have been dreaming about...

I certainly do not think my 475hp/4100 lb saloon is, or should be, the fastest thing on the road. But for around $15K total invested, including all my mods that are currently on the car (nitrous removed) I think it is a screamin deal, especially considering that I really like it's looks, and luxury comfort too. The Lexus was over $60K+ whatever mods investment this guy must have invested, so for me to be able to give him a good run was entertaining. ![Icon Bike](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_bike.gif)

A 35 shot over and above would've been enough to beat that Toyota

I never got a good rpm signal that my controller could use.
Also, I realized I am content with the 475 hp I have right now.
There will always be something that is a little faster out there.
If my car proves to be reliable as it is, then I would have made a good decision of not taking it further and damaging something. I am running 17 lbs of boost right now on stock head gaskets and bolts.
It feels good right now, so I am hopeful the current set up can last another 3+ years without any major issues.
The only further changes I am currently planning are some small brake upgrades and to make my inter cooler sprayer spray automatically when the water/meth injection kicks in. This could/should add another 10 hp or so. That would put me at approx 485. As cookie monster says "Good enough for me."

Dammmmnnnnn that is fast in the open air.
I really don't know what the point of having lots of HP is unless you use it![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Ya got ta let the dogs out once in a while, God forbid I ever got any carbon build up anywhere![Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
We have been looking into these little Hyabusa powered race cars with lots of downforce as some possible future toys.

The XJR is faster stock than is a 135i Manual coupe and a manual 2012 Camaro SS, personally confirmed. This means that it is a micro-second faster than 2 cars that both do 0-60 in around 4.6s and, in the case of the Camaro, have 56hp more.
I got a ticket for Aggravated speeding recently, 25mph over. Since it was my first moving violation they reduced the fine to $300 + court fees. Just written up for
60 in a 35, it only takes a few seconds to get there! Why so illegal? You can go from 0- to -Jail in 5.2 seconds in the XJR. Luckily he didn't arrest me.
In other news, I have recently bought a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 240D 4spd Man. which has excellent fuel economy and no need for a Valentine One like the XJR.
Since speeding is extremely difficult and unwise in that car.
