1989 Jaguar XJS "Rouge Edition",

This car has been modified with a T6, 5 speed, manual transmission, high performance clutch, & aluminum fly wheel. Also has differential gear change from 2.88 to 4.12. New Bilstein shocks, & new tires mounted on XJ6R wheels. Engine modifications include twin 60mm throttle bodies, exhaust headers, cold air intakes, & aluminum radiator with electric fans. Exhaust is 2 1/2 inch with x-pipe. Car looks great & is extremely fast, & sounds like a V12 should. Over 50k invested. You will be very surprised at the performance of this car.

I hope he means T-56, but hey, it's a v12 Jag with a manual transmission, what could possibly go wrong with it?

Everything could possibly go wrong with it, being a V12 Jag, that has seen a build done to it. But that's not to say i don't have a bonnet bulge right now - because i do.

The wheels just don't look right to me... Too big, too black, too shiny and the wrong shape. Needs BBS mesh to look right.

Nothing, absolutely nothing could go wrong with those NACA ducts on it

I just cannot stop staring. I would have gone with an XK or maybe and AJ6, but other than that, this is exactly the type of Jag build i would do, given the means. Lots of horsepower from an original Jag engine, manual trans swap, sporty chassis and brakes, unassuming looks. Exactly.

The NACA ducts make me sad.

I've written before about my Jag-dealership-mechanic friend and his loathing of the V12s...so I'll just go along with '505 - morphine not found' and say everything.
