Default Jaguar XJ-RS + Vectra Turbo [UPDATED with engine pics !!!]

Well lets first start with custom shots: I could not find the owners manuel so I quickly writed on a paper 'Jabbasworld' and put it on the car, hope that will do as custom shot ?
Custom Shot with XJ-RS:

Jaguar XJ-RS
The XJ-RS is a 6.0L V12, with 375 BHP @ 6.500 RPM and est. 400 Nm of torque. This is a tuned version of the original XJ-RS, it's tuned by the 'Stealth Package' of Jaguar, only around +/- 20 XJ-RS's have these kits over the whole world. The total package costed around €25.000. Acceleration from 0-100 kph is in around 5 seconds, top speed of 280 kph. But to bad it's an auto The sound is very nice, it's fitted with a 2.5 inch stainless steel 304 gauge Supersprint exhaust. Still, this car gets recently modified...
Pics:





















Opel Vectra Turbo:
This is a very, very fast car !! it's only tuned on aerodynamics and engine tuning. This car produces now 350 BHP @ 6.750 RPM, around 300 Nm of torque, an acceleration from 0-100 kph in only 4.5 seconds, top speed of just over 300 kph with Short Shifter Kit. The stock Vectra Turbo goes from 0-100 kph in 6.8 kph, and a top speed (wich I don't really know around 240 - 250 kph, I thought) . Recently a new engine has been placed since the previous engine is destroyed. also it's has a bore up to 2.1 L . Here are some pics


















vids will follow later, made some new ones, but i'm lazy now, took so long to do this post

@BREMBO: Yes it's a 4X4, and I thought it was running on a Garrett Medium Turbo

@ ARMAN: A few, my dad gots a Honda Prelude 2.0i, my mom gots a Chevrolet Beretta and my mother's friend who lives with us his dad gots a 911 Carrera 4S Nice car but unfortunetly not my style. and about the brakes: Brembo's will come this summer. But they're very expensive

Oh and here's a pic of the Vectra Turbo that says 4X4

Very nice cars. Vectra is absolut sleeper. Opel`s 4x4 systems are not that strong, even without mods they are easy to break, how is your`s holding together?

Don't really know , don't ask these things to my mother's friend.
But whe never had problems with that, not even with our previous Vectra Turbo, a gray one.

BTW, here's another Jaguar XJ-RS vid I made. On a nice sunny day when I have some more time, I'll take better vids then these quick shots.

Some great cars. The XJ-RS must very exclusive with the upgraded engine. That V12 sounds so gorgeous!!

The Vectra Turbo is also a special car. Not much people will expect it's so fast: the wolf in sheep’s clothing philosophy, I like it. As you said in the vid "Het gaat wel goed vooruit", apparently it does

I'm 13 so I can't drive myself and my parents are divorced. And these cars are from my mothers friend (you could say stepfather , but they're not married)

Oh and wutputt: Inderdaad, gefilmd op de nacht dat hij volledig getuned is
