2010 super charged

scottp999 · 12-16-2009, 09:22 PM

Saw one at a Starbucks today. Wow...It is one nice looking car. Anyone test drive one yet? Was disappointed that is was 4300lbs, but 470/hp 424tq (crank) off the showroom floor is nice. I think they are about 65-67K.

I think it went up from a 4.4 V8 to a 5.0 V8 in 2010. Also looks like there is another model that gets and additional 40 HP (510hp/460tq crank) called the XFR. XFR base price is around 80k.

XFR looks like a 13 flat qtr mile, 0-60 in 4.7 per motortrend: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...nd_design.html

Also gets the same supercharger as the Corvette ZR1 ( Eaton Gen 6 ).

Car and driver says 4.3 0-60, 9.6 0-100.

The XFR is a 5.0SC and it's a brilliant luxury sports saloon which on more than one occasion has not only beat the M5 but the Panamera S and turbo in comparison tests.

It's performance is comparable to that of an M5 though not quite the level of the E63 or RS6. But in my opinion it strikes a best compromise between performance/handling and luxury than any of them.

Ran in to one the other night... FAF!!!

Trying to torment me with hazzard lights on. Just put my snows on so was not comfy yet with the set-up. Couldnt get a good guage of difference. Basically ran dead even up to X20+ mph.

It got whooped by the new CTS-v though...

You're such a Jag/Audi fanboy it's ridiculous.
