Default Top speed??

Wondering if anyone knows what the XJ will do? I've gotta 95 sport and can bury it on 85 with no problem at all.

Only if it's downhill lol 1/4 mile is way too short to get to top speed

eh maybe it was a little higher than 105. these pics are taken right when the governor kicks in. (scares the **** out of you when you feel it)
97 xj

96 xj


with the gears and tires i am actually going slower than my speedometer reads.

with 5.38's and 35s i top out at about 91 mph. with 37's at about 97 mph.

(speeds were achieved on a closed course by a professional driver, do not try this at home)
