Re: CLONE Cars?
The 94 XJ12 is a great race car. Except when the brand new distributor cap cracks like a champagne glass at the opera
or when one of the engine thermostats jambs closed
or when the transmission gets too hot and locks itself into second
or when the front sway bar bushings fall out on the track and causes the car to handle like a bag of lumpy ass
or when the front brakes get cooked
or that taking 800lbs off of the car actually worsened its handling
You can ask the other racers at THill. The one thing our Jag doesn't need more of is power. Compared to most of the other cars on the track it feels like it has infinity hp. I would be hesitant to reflash the ECU to increase its fuel consumption as it was going through about twice as much fuel as we expected.
I think that we masochistic glue sniffers, ...er Jaguar racers, should join forces to try and get a Jag to finish top 10. Hell, at that point we would probably all get knighted by the Queen and that is definitely on my Bucket List.
