Cool Listen to the Jag V12 scream!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4020621683779274240&q=XJS

Video is a bit long, but listen to that XJS. Sounds like a 1960's vintage F1 car!

Thanks for the cool link. My buddy has a 7k mile v12 E-type, and I know he will get a kick out of it.

Wow!

I don't remember my wife's 92 XJS V-12 EVER sounding like that! The induction system in that guy's car is far different too!

Of course, the normally-aspirated versions have two cats, two resonators and two mufflers. I guess if you run straight pipes that cat will ROAR!

What a Symphony! Music to my ears!
Gotta get a V12 and enjoy the music, damned the price of fuel!
It's not a commuter car anyway, the Electric will do that nicely!
Vedersehen...

That V12 sound

There is a guy named Pascal that is on the XKE boards. He has a 71/72ish XKE V12 2+2 I believe. He has video posted of going around several tracks - with that great sound. He is somewhat of a legend... known for driving the car from South FL. to Lime Rock in CN or tracks in Texas, then driving the car home...
