Flawless, one of a kind Jaguar conversion. The Jag is running a custom built LT4 Chevy 5.7 liter engine with a 6 speed manual T56 transmission. This high performance combination makes the car extremely rare in the world of Jaguar Chevy conversions. The car is also desirable because it is a 1986 XJ6 body with a 1973 XJ12 chassis and VIN number. The 1973 VIN number makes the car smog legal in California. Buyer should verify smog restriction in their state. I have spent the last 12 year customizing and perfecting the car's setup. The work and the car have been a labor of love for me. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a completely sorted and rare Jag Chevy conversion with tens of thousands dollars invested and countless man hours. I’m 75 years old and I have honestly lost interest. My hope is the car will go to a deserving gear head. The car is pristine condition no dings, no rust, and always garaged. Please no dealer inquiries. Engine: The original engine was a LT1. It was putting out 164 horses to the rear tires when dynoed. I wasn't really happy with the power. So I pulled the engine and upgraded it to an LT4 aluminum heads, intake manifold and installed Chevy Hot Cam. After the upgrade the car dynoed at 281HP to the rear tires. T56 six speed transmission up the Dyno to the rear wheels to 289HP. The cars top speed is roughly 150mph. See Dyno PDF Transmission: The car has a professionally installed 6 speed T56 manual transmission. I did all of the interior modifications necessary to accommodate the clutch peddle and the gear shift. I wanted to insure the integrity of the original Jaguar interior. The transmission can handle 450 FTLB. of torque. The tires can be smoke in 1st and 2nd gear. Maybe 3rd I have not tired. Exhaust: The Exhaust was designed and installed by Ed Hanson. The go to man in San Diego for Hot Rod exhaust systems. The exhaust growl is that unique V8 growl. My ex wife thought the car was too loud. I think it is perfect. Anyone that knows cars can tell what it is when they hear it. Click the link to hear and see video of car: http://youtu.be/TGYWzsR8jDg Body: Custom paint was done five years ago. The cost was roughly $5000. There are not dings, dents or scratches. The car was always garaged and rarely driven. Please Feel to ask any question. I am a happy to answer any questions and talk cars by phone. The car can be test driven by appointment at my house. Buyer is responsible for any delivery transportation. The car will remain for sale until a 25% deposit in the form of cashiers check is delivered to me. Click the link Below to hear the Jag!!!! |

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
