Tuned Tubby Vs S-Type JagWAaaaaar

Post by matt_mr2t »

Dunno why I just said Jagwaaaar, just felt like it I supposed.

Was having a little bit of play with one of these the other night.
To be honest, he was in my way for a bit then took stupid risks to stay in front hence I gave up on him. He was a bit risky to say the least.

I dont know if it was an S-Type R or not but it wasnt slow.

Just looked up the stats on them (Type R) and it's pretty impressive.
390bhp and 399lb of torque - the mid range must be mind boggling with that much torque...

I would imagine getting the thing moving would be hard with the sheer size of them.

Not sure if this WAS an R or not. There wasnt enough open to space to tell. He just drove like a tard so I backed away.

a chap in work has one of these and its VERY scary in the corners and in the wet the suspension is shocking to say the least but straight line acceleration is breathtaking once rolling rom standstill its abit poo but from say 20-70 is just really effortless.
