XJS in Targa Tasmania

Postby ptjs1 » Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:01 pm

As you may be aware, an XJS came 5th in this years Targa Tasmania Classic (& 1st in class). Good clip on YouTube which shows how a well-sorted V12 XJS goes and sounds. And it sounds great! He does seem a little nervous (understandably!) about unleashing the power of the big cat on the mountain pass in the wet,though!

Serious hardware in there pushing a few more £££'s than standard AJ6 Eng mods :)

The colour scheme you can keep............................but I want the rest!!
including the noise, the popping and spitting on the overrun and especially the flames from the exhaust!!
