2010 XKR Hotrod on EBay
Have any of you guys seen the 2010 XKR on EBay claiming 600hp from an ETG tune and pulley, plus custom exhaust? I wonder if anyone is willing to buy someone else's hotrod at the price he is asking.
However I do like some of the custom paint touches he has added, particularly to the wheels and some trim pieces. When I find a car I think I will try them. Not so hot on the seat Jaguar images though.

Really? Six a day? These should be a dime a dozen then! lol
Anyone notice the "Leaper" on the hood? Nice touch.

That is a great price for a reasonably low mileage car with upgrades. ETG works on lots of models and makes, so it would not be a stretch to have them do "6 per day." Ralphwg, long time forum member has used their services on his previous XK. I have Eurocharged tune and pulley, so it should be near 600hp. My silver coupe has many of the same upgrades although I have black hood vents as well as some other black accents. I'm tempted to take a ride up to Santa Barbara and take a look. I could always use another XKR convertible.

Having said that, there is not much beating a person living in the US can do to a 600 HP car. IF you just bury the go pedal for more than a few seconds, you are well beyond 100 MPH which is a territory where licence suspension, impounding the car and jail terms are expected.
I used to be one of those people that really hammered my cars that ranged from "built" to Italian exotics. These days, however, with the law having so many ways of recording and catching a speeder the odds are definitely stacked in the LE's favor. Unless the previous owner regularly tracked the car, I doubt that any lasting damage could be expected from even spirited highway driving. Even back in years when I literally and regularly banzai raced my high performance cars, never had any engine or transmission failures.
If I were interested in this car, I'd pay for a thorough inspection and, if passed, would not worry about being driven into the ground. Not as if one lived nearby the German Autobahns where oneu could literally drive the "p*ss" out of any car...
Edit: the one thing that would give me room for pause if I found out that a particular XKR was a Jaguar program car, used in track events, journalist test cars and for demo events with countless 0-60 standing starts and hundreds of autocross runs. I had the pleasure to flog around XKRs just that way.

Caution is always the right approach!

If you liked the 340 h/p you would love my '64 conv. with a ZZ383 stroker. 425hp and 450 torque. Car weighs under 3000 lbs. Rear tires are an endangered species, especially when the 4.11 rear is in the car. But I digress........still looking for the right Jag. to celebrate my 70th.
