The car isn't rare, it's people that buy them as an investment and never drive it and leave it to rot in the garage and the engine seizes up from all the oil dripping down away from the engine. The 2010 Pontiac Vibe only sold 97 models. The 2011 Mercury Milan only sold about 30 or less. Plenty more rare cars than a XJ220, its just people do not drive an XJ220 on the road.

I got to drive a jag s-type R for a couple weeks to bring it over 2500 miles so we could sell it as a used car. It only had 940 miles when we aquired it. Not only did it sound better than any bone stock production car i had ever heard at the time, fuck me was it a drift machine. Within the first 5 minutes driving the thing I drifted the entire 360° freeway entrance perfectly. The rear diff was a thing of beauty. It was on or off. No bullshit. The gear ratios were kind of odd, BIG gap on the 2-3 shift but 3-4 was unbelievable. When you revved it the thing cracked like a whip. Seriously i had a super tricked out Audi b5 Rs4 at the time. I converted it to a single turbo, haltech stand alone ecu, lightweight single mass flywheel and a whole bunch of other stuff. It made 512hp at all 4 wheels. My point being, with that flywheel being less than 3 lbs in my audi, the thing sounded very impressive. The jag sounded more tight. Anyone know what im talking about?? I wanna say it was a 2009 s-type R. It was FFFFUUUUGLY as all get out but, the British racing green, the staggered wheelset they came with, and that glorious supercharged V6 left me giving absolutely zero fux about the stupid ass front end. I almost bought it, then I learned how much a 23 year old kid would have to pay for full coverage insurance on the thing. Guess...go ahead I'll wait...... WRONG!!!!! $506 A MONTH was the cheapest I could find. That was $128 less than the payment itself. The car was so cool I STILL almost bought it. But my best friend who I worked with at the time was like "Bro, I love you, but you're gonna hate yourself in 90 days if you go through with this. You can go buy a brand new Shelby gt500 for less." So that's what I did, hahahahaha!!!

Yeah let's compare 20 year old technology with modern Lexus why not. How much power does your JZ makes from factory? 300 if you're lucky. Vette made 350 back then. Most japanese cars were locked to 280hp and you know that. Hottest shit from europe was like McLaren F1 with 621hp. 911 had 400 max with 2 turbos slapped in. What about torque figures? 1st gen Viper had 465 lb·ft (630 N·m) while McLaren F1 had 480 lb·ft (651 N·m). Everyone ignores the fact SRT team increased Viper's hp by more than 160% while sticking to same NA engine. Hurr durr giant engine producing low hp. yeah, except it weights just like VR38DETT GTR's engine while making a hundred more hp. Why no one complains about Veyron with it's 8.0l W16 with 4 turbochargers making 1k hp? Even your Supra with a turbo from a truck can make more.
@TheProPilot7 жыл бұрын
Healt Desimal mmmkay my Supra back when the Viper came out made 320hp stock and with literally 4 parts made 410whp/~450crank, more than the Viper and yes in the early 90s. An intake, downpipe, exhaust and boost controller got you sub 4 second 0-60mph times on an otherwise stock car. The fact that Dodge FINALLY made that much power is a fine example of how incompetent they were in the 90s. The OEM couldn't even beat a mildly upgrade 183/3.0L I6 with an 8.0L V10. I'm not impressed. Oh and then let's compare them on a road course or a drag strip. One is a death trap, the other a solid and predictable performer. 🤔
@Healtsome7 жыл бұрын
And again you are comparing car with mods to the stock car. Apples to oranges. Doesn't really matter how much you can void your varranty you are still voiding it. And yeah, death trap with 13 world records. While Supra has? Yes, none. Old VIper is still there in the top ten cars around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Modified for drag strip? How about fastest 1/2 mile RWD trap speed? Stock? Try Dodge Demon. Dodge has you covered. Do I hate on Supra? Of course I don't. That would be silly. The car has potential. But I also think it's hella overrated. It's not all about horsepower, it's all about the feelings, emotions and passion you get man.

Well the Lotus Carlton had 377 bhp, that was enough to make it the undisputed king of the fast saloons during the 90s.

You got Hellcats with 700Hp and cost a fraction of what some cars with much less cost. Only $65,000

The TVR Speed-12 was a beast, I'm talking about the original Project 7/12 design, It looks like a banshee from hell.

To those slagging off the TVR Speed 12; the first Speed 12, which can be seen in Clarksons video on here, and my video of it racing, was producing around 680bhp in race form. I've spoken to the guy who raced it, and his son who was in the car perched on the fuel tank during the filming. It had problems cornering as the tubular chassis wasn't really up to the task of containing the power, however the acceleration could leave a Mclaren F1 standing. The Cerbera Speed 12, which is the big red thi

Sounds about right. I'm guessing the TVR would be almost completely undrivable by all but the most experienced.

Weird to see a young Clarkson from hundreds years ago, what is more impressive, is that there were cars back then, 2000 years ago.

FunFact: The Jaguar XJ220 had 1500 deposits laid down to buy the car. When the truth of it not living up to the hype, only 275 actually got bought. Facts buddy, facts.
