But it wasn't only the hp. It was the torque that was fun in the compressor. Felt like a hot rod.

Shure you'll be to fast in no time and traction is a problem if it's not dry. But a 5 litre engine with a compressor is just fun. Honestly the 385 hp version is fast enough. But the 510 hp version makes you smile every second you pet the gas pedal of the cat.

We have a few XKR-S come in .550hp ! Mad ! Lots of arguments about who takes it for a road test !
They are very difficult to sell used here. Often takes many months and lots of discounts.And if they have had any accident damage repair work that causes other issues because of the aluminum/adhesive construction. So if you are patient and really know actual completed sales prices from a Dealer auction you can find an amazing bargain. But find a local Jag Indie first - you will be 'married' to him for technical service! Lots of German components on that car = you will be in familiar circumstances.
