As someone not interested in speed, I had to Google the significance of the 60ft marker. I understand it now.  :y

The Jag certainly has the get up and go but the 4wd and lsd make a hell of a difference, only 1150 kg too and over 400bhp👍 my last visit was at Shakespeare but it’s closed now sadly🙁 they used to do some tractor pulling there too, some beautiful turbos on show there😂

Above 60MPH it had almost endless grunt thus the relatively high terminal speed and the relatively slow ET. :y

All dragstrips use 1ft rollout which is cheating. :)

Rollout subtracts about 0.3-0.4 sec.

So a 12 second dead car/bike is really 12.3 ish. ;)

Shallow staging will give you more rollout.....as will bigger front wheels and tyres. :)

If you do fancy a Crossfire, one thing that it does offer that the SLK doesn't, is a manual option for the 3.2 V6.

200+ bhp and a manual box will make for a pretty entertaining car 8)
