A buddy of mine was into Jags, he had a V-12 and a six, about 1970 vintage. I drove the V-12. It was a rattle trap with bad steering and was missing third gear, I don't know why, he said to skip it. It needed some restoration inside, the outside was decent, and it is a great looker, it just drove like crap.
Great torque though. I had him drive my then almost new 2005 Cadillac CTS behind me. We then had a 2016 CTS with the four cylinder and AWD which was a nice car, but big for the city. Torque is more important than horsepower for most of us.
I also drove a friend's 1968 I think Camaro 350, it was similar to the Jag. I had a 1973 Nova with a 350 that I really liked, but it was obviously with some issues and only 185 hp out of 5.7 L. I kept thinking I'd add headers and an Edelbrock some day but never did. I think 0-60 was 8.5 seconds in the mags. Slow by today's standards.
EVs are upon us, faster than I expected.
