Im not saying its not fast, but for a pretty heavily modified car, and the cost of the base model, its really nothing great. The base car itself will set you back a good $90k. For doing some serious work to a 90k car, your not getting a whole lot more. You be better off starting with ..say, the Porsche 911 AWD Turbo Cabby. At 125k it will most likely still be cheaper than making the Jag conversion, with better numbers in a lot of areas.
Or another example. Hennessey and Lingenfelter (sp?). Particularly the vette...for a cheaper car to begin with, and a cheaper (most likely) upgrade, you get for more improvement and comprable numbers.
My point isn't that its slow, cause its not. Im just saying for the price of the car, the price of the work, the final product is a little less than id expect.
