Secondly my mate has a 2012 jaguar xfr. They have about 510 bhp but like bmw they under quote there bhp figures so its more like 530bhp. So anyway we had a few runs last night and i couldnt shift him at all. It was identical, is that right?
2 things we can think is either mines lacking power for some strange reason or his could have been renapped before he brought it.
Any thoughts or anyone had experience going agaisnt one?
Thanks

Hm..you should be able to shake a XFR. What speed were you guys running? M5's S63 engine shines at high speed (200-300km/h), but I'm afraid the US M5s are capped at 155mph to 160mph so the power advantage won't be as obvious.
