02 LS V8 vs. 00 S-Type V8

I was on my way yesterday to tint shop to get my windows retinted and I had my brother follow me so I didn’t have to wait there (the guy at tint shop said it could take up to 4 to 6 hours). Anyway, it turns out I was the one doing the following… He has a 2000 Jaguar S-Type 4.0 that’s bone stock. I have a 2002 LS V8 with a Magna Flow exhaust and a CAI. He was able to accelerate faster then me and get to the driving speed on the high way faster then me. I honestly felt like my car had to try and keep up with him. I haven’t had a chance to see who is faster from a dead stop but once we got going, he made it look effortless!

Has anyone out there tangled with an S-Type and had a similar outcome???

The 2000-02 S-type V8 has what 281hp and 287 lb of torque, so it's probably gonna walk away from 00-02 LS easy.

Yes but with the Magna-Flow and CAI he should be near that HP and TQ so it should be closer than a walk away if at all.

I want to get an XCal as my next major upgrade. Do you think it will be a closer contest after that?

You might pick up 10 hp with a 93 tune and with a quicker shift, run door to door.

But think of your cousin. How will he feel if you spend a couple of hundred on some bolts on and beat him?

He spent thousands more for the Jag. Do you really want him to hate his car?

Mark...
Thanx for my first GOOD laugh of the day.
Thats just like you tho , to think of others feelings especially in times of need.
In that , ya after the tune , he will need a shoulder to cry on.Is it worth it?
hell ya!
The only reason I don't beat anyone in my 02v8 , is can't afford the mods...|
Trust me , if i could , i'd do it AND beat my own mother!(She has A lexus...LOL)
Good times...
