Forget the 959. What's the story with the XJ220?

The bad part about the Jag is that it is a 2 decade old supercar.Getting in & out of this vehicle is quite a challenge for myself as the doors do not open very wide so getting your feet in creates a challenge.With the seat adjusted so my head is not touching the roof the steering wheel is at the end of my reach which means you have no leverage for the heavy steering at parking speeds.Drive any other supercar of this era and it all pretty familar as far as the egronomics are concerned. The 959 drives just like any other 911 of that time period which means it is a very easy car to hop in & drive.The 959 is somewhat different in having tons of power on boost over 4500 and lots of lag below that but with decent drivability at lower power settings.To remember the normal Turbos of that era had nothing below 3500 and only a 4 speed so you really had to work to keep them on boost.For normal use the 959 could be used as an everyday car if you really wanted to which you could never do with the XJ220. I have not driven these cars at any real quick speeds so these are observations while driving them around in the Toronto area.If I was to bring one car out to the track it would be the 959 and that will more than likely never happen.I am more than fortunate to have these cars under my care and have the chance to drive & show them. |
