Re: Drivers opinions on V8 v V10 era cars

the V10 3.0l were pushing out about 1000BHP. When they went down to the V8 2.4l they were quickly at 750BHP and I recall Cosworth were the first engine supplier to break into the 20,000RPM category Q: Anyone have an idea what BHP levels the V8 2.4l would have been pushing out now, if all the restri...

The 10's had more pwer and torque.

8's and 10's are nice but for pure visceral sound give me a 12.

Whats Visceral. Think I caught that when I was in Asia :twisted:

Re: Jaguar XKR. Need advice before buying

I think I must be the only one who likes the newer XKR shape. The old one looked more like the XK8, which I can't say I'm a big fan of, looks wise. The newer XKR is my more realistic car ambition, second hand unfortunately my first name isn't 'Sheikh'. Hopefully one day I can get a second hand DB9 ...
