but no its not a ferrari https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png





my dads 88 Jaguar XJS V12 , 5.3L of fury !!!!!!! except its not fast at all , but it rides like a pimps dream. Interior is SCHWEETTTT !!!!

My buddy had one that his mom gave him in highschool cause it broke all the time, hopefully you will have better luck. You gonna bling it out.

jooo know me, i only roll wit dhem 29s , but seriously prob not lol, I hope it does run , the only thing i like about the car is the interior, but hey thats all that matters cause thats all you see when you drive anyway. I hope it gets decent gas milage , its a touring car so it fuggin kills on the highway !

daily driver might be stretching it a bit, fuel economy will be poor and hopefully it doesnt need a tune up anytime soon either-$$$

heres what it looks like basically. Your right rob, im only dailying it for a month till i drive the RX-7. Whats worse the RX7 or jag daily ? hahaha. your right though, 12 spark plugs , YAY anything for it is $$$$$

the cap is like $180 also



they are nice cars in thier own little Prince of Darkness way

just look at the engine bay, first of all the hood opening that way is like death when working on a car, 2nd of all its worse than a damn camaro in there, but it has stock suspension sway bars !

Looks pretty clean!



I dunno about gas milage on a v12 though LOL

nah my dads is brown, same exact car though, but with brown leather interior. Its been sitting for a little while so im guessing it will need a tune up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png but hes paying !

wish it looked like this. Those kind of doors are WAY better than lambo doors

that thing is pretty pimp. gas mileage would probably be my guess which is a shitty one: 15-20mpg.

i thought it was an 8 series. bah

XJS , but my starion gets 11 mpg so this cant be that bad

my buddy's dad has one of those, its ******* pimp!! he owns a bike shop and a 190hp 1.6L 1970's toyota corolla (all n/a)



he plans on doing **** to the engine, lots of ****!

haha that brings me back memories https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png .....i was driving Arround w/ my friends once (******* arround) there was a guy getting out of one of these and we threw a bag of popcorn on his face https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif He got back in the car and started chasing us, and we lost him W/ a 93 civic hatch (automatic/ 1.6 non Vtec) it was preety close , the civic transmission was hella smoking after that rush https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png The next day Cops went to my friends house and we got in trouble=(......so yeah 4 a V12 those are slooooooow=(

its just made to cruise with mang, not for 1/4 mile speeds. rides hella nice at like 100+ mph, cause thats what its made for

i second that!

I CONCUR!

I admit there was a time that I would have killed for a Jag XJS, but I got over it.



They are beautiful cruisers, and while it's no stoplight racer, that V-12 ought to pull pretty strong. I think they made like 260 HP.



The only way that car will see 20 mpg is if you just rolled down a long-ass hill with the car in neutral! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



I knew some people who owned these cars back in the day. They are notoriously unreliable. Just think of it as a really good-looking bitchy princess who's dating you for your wallet, and you'll get along fine.
