xj 220 worth it or not ????

[retro123]

first i have to say i think its the most awsome car i have ever driven
as soon as them turbo's kick in no scooby or evo can touch it ( ever )
so bye bye boyracers

but than i look at it from a difrent side to
is a car like that worth its money
well NO
you can get realy hard into the right driving position
specialy if you r like me 6,2
you cant see out of the back mirors well they could have left them in the box cos they are shit to look back in
the clutch is hell to work specialy in normal trafic ( you ll need to go to a sportschool to train your legs to work that thing
brakes are shit when cold and in normal trafic they will not warm up
than the engine heats up or over heats in normal trafic so fast

and you cant park it anywhere cos you ll have everyone standing round it before you can get out of the car

i am a mechanic who is fortunate to be able to work on cars like that and more exclusive ones to also do the ocasional testdrive so i know what i am talking about if i say it looks and goes like hell
but i also see the other side

what do you all think ????????????

Super cars aren't meant to be practical and the XJ220 is a product of the race cars shown in this thread.

Jaguar race cars

i know but on the public road your not suposed to race them ( not realy ) so there should have been some comfort in it for that kind of money
is my opinion even if they where small things like brake or clutch assist
