Unsure how much HP my 07 xk 4.2 is putting out but i ran a 13.72 @101.5 with virtually the same mods (tuned by old jaguar)
Yet to go back since upgrading the throttle body and installing 3.58 diff gears .

And, BTW, the license plates give it away that it is NOT from the US... The OP is from Latvia. Closer to YOU.

Isn't that the main reason we buy a car like the Jag X100? I purchased mine because it stood out from the crowd and showed my individuality. Yep, "look at me" I drive a cool car.

Hey UKSimon!
If you can't say something nice about the Man's Jaguar XK8, then please!!! Don't say anything at all!....OK! Remember, a whole bunch of us "Americans" had Grandparents that came from Wales and Scotland, so you are sort of talking about people just like yourself!
Oh my, did I say that? Why "hush" my mouth!

The car might not be your taste but it's really nicely done. It's not my style but red top and possibly guts over silver isn't very out there as a color scheme. That red is a nice looking red for a top too.

The yellow and the silver with red are beautiful IMO. The X100 is one of the best looking cars on the planet. Others are faster , can pull more Gs on the skid pad etc; but the combination of looks and performance are close to perfect. I often go to the local car club "cruise night" at local A&W Drive-In. There are loads of machines there ( mostly retro American ) , some of which have cost their owners $20,000+ for the paint job alone. My 15 year old unrestored XK8 always gets attention and admiring comments.

Not the best photo but shows the contrasting colour when the sun hits the open door. Standard Jaguar Amaranth Purple, 1998.
From Moray, "The best county in the other best country in the world", SCOTLAND.

Not common boring black or white like all the other Jags, BMWs, Audi's and Range Rovers where I live.
All the best to everyone.....

Two absolutely Beautiful 2005-2006 Jaguar XKR Coupes...Hard to find a better looking Automobile than these two...…………………
