are you inhaling deeply with your lips wrapped around your tailpipe? "within 100lbs" looks like 700lbs to me. 
also found that the 2003 XJR does 0-60 in 5 seconds. that extra pork explains how the LGT is faster even though it gives up almost 100hp.
i have dark silver trim, no woody crap. after the SVX, i had my fill of stupid wood interior trim, real or fake. |
4050 is far from the truth. In reality mine weighs in at a very stout 3910 with 23 gallons of fuel in it (sunroof, 8 cow skins 1/4" think and more buttons then I care to figure out how to use. Since Subaru is way off on their scale- to the tune of 250lbs for the SVX. Our GT was a porker to the tune of 3650lbs. If I remember right Subaru claimed it weighed 3310. I would suspect your 3360 is a pipe dream as well. Explains why as Motor Trend states "Despite the industrial-feeling gearbox, the GT should hit 60 in around 5.5 seconds". On the other hand I can get a 5 second launch all day long by simply stepping on the gas, no need for the harbor freight engine sounds associated with the boxer or have to play with a slipper clutch.
Yes pot metal and fake metal trim is so much nicer than real walnut. It is quite annoying when people from all walks of life keep coming over to ya to admire your car though. They always say they want one but wish Jaguar used more attractive fake metal like the UJAs do.
