Jaguar XK
Killed.
Sweet looking car from behind. Wide stance with HUGE rear tires.
It was an entrance ramp to a empty expressway race. 1 car in the right lane hoenstly. A little toyota was probably like WTF! as 2 muscle cars scream past him. I was behind him just waiting for him to hit it. He hit it and move into the left lane. I moved into the middle lane. He had 1 car length head start. I was about 6 car lengths ahead when I shut down. He didnt stand a chance.
That car looks and sounds mean but thats about it. Id love to see how we do against the XKR.
Bad things from this race. WTF.. The automatic sucks *****. Honestly. Even in manual mode... Why does this tranny shift whenever it feels like it even though it hit the paddle like 5 times. The tranny refuses to shift until redline at 7K. 6-7K RPM does nothing for the C63. I want to shift out at 6K... not 7K! LET ME! sheesh...
Also, ESP off... WTF.. the car still takes control if you drift a little. Is there a full off mode or what on this car?

AFAIK, youd have to be in dyno to completely kill the traction control, but that also kills the ABS. I dont really think the Jag fits the definition of "muscle car" either...lol

If you can destroy more than 80% of the cars out there, I'd say its a muscle car. The only cars that stand a chance are way more expensive or that have the ***** modded out of them.
If you mod the 63 than were back to square one, destroying over 90% of anything out there except of course for Veyrons and GT3's and a few others.
THAT'S MUSCLE TO ME!!!

I test drove the XK when it first came out.
Real disappointment! I was pulling out of the dealer lot and was accelerating into traffic when the engine cut out! WTF! Looked at the tach and realized I had hit the REV LIMITER! Did not feel like it was accelerating at all! The car has no ***** whatsoever...

Never said that. I said doing 155 MPH or more unless you are on the track is stupid. ![crazy](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)
Of course I have fun with my C63. I told you I can get her up to 130MPH in safe road conditions. ZERO TRAFFIC. 130MPH is still quite manageable. 155 and above on the street is just idiotic.
Honestly im more of a 0-60 guy anyhow. I love the G pulls. After 130MPH your just gliding and the rush is over for me. No real rush doing 175MPH unless there is a feeling that you might wreck into someone. The idea of adrenaline brought on from the idea that I might wreck into mommy's mini van full of kids doing 155+ MPH is not my kind of fun. I only play with my own life, not others.

The XK generates only about 385 bhp, if memory serves, and is more of a luxury GT, I suppose.
I can't believe we qualify 385 bhp with the word "only" nowadays. LOL

It is funny how 385HP is an "only" now. Crazy....
When I told people my CTSV had 400HP in 2004 they were like "WOW!" Now its mediocre.

Im being two faced? You only race in zero traffic yet you run from the cops. ![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...lice-cars.html
I never said I didn’t race. I even stated on a previous thread that I only race with Zero traffic. The Toyota was entering the expressway with us. He was in front of both of us. I was probably doing 65 MPH when I passed him. He was in the right, me in the middle and the Jag in the left. I didn’t blow past him doing 155 MPH. Big difference racing and doing top end runs at 155+ MPH you dope.
Im really getting tired of your BS on this forum. You like to stir up crap and then come back and blame it on your meds or some other Bipolar bullcrap. If you wanna be an Ahole on this forum then just stay true to yourself and stop blaming it on some BS medical problem as justification for acting like one.

I don't mind being called an Ahole. But if your street racing your breaking just as many laws as i do, and considering that i haven't been able to do a top speed run because of traffic and i haven't run from the cops (i just asked about) And you just posted about a race i bet you breaking the law more than me also, you are stupid.
