holtehero Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Got a late invite to a customer event due to someone dropping out, will be the third time i've been Just gutted they have got rid of the 350's now as i was looking forward to a drive on the track a couple of weeks before i get mine, would have given me a chance to get the back out (drove it last time i went and it was damp, which meant the back end was out every corner as they turned the TC off ) Mind you they have the new Jag XK8's so looking forward to giving them a spin (hopefully not literally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugwump Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 it is a great day out, I was surprised at the performance of the XK though, I didnt think it was as good as the Zed. More comfortable yes, but not a sports car (well it is a big GT!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtehero Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Is the XK stripped out like the 911s? i love the clio's as they are like go karts and the caterhams are brilliant fun, though i haven't driven one on a dry track yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugwump Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The XK is pretty standard, they have uprated the brakes and suspension iirc but other than that out of the showroom from what I remember. The dash is lit up like a christmas tree though with warning lights! Traction, abs, etc etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
