yea i know but there are better cars. i think the F50 would out perform that car even those the Enzo is good performance wise but that front end look yuky.

I downloaded an episode of Top Gear that spoke about this exact topic. It compared cars like the McLaren F1, Ferrari F50 and the Jaguar XJ220 to the Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda.
In a straight line the Jaguar XJ220 easily beat the Pagani Zonda.

Top Gear stages results and lap times. Their whole show for that matter is staged. Don't let their so called "live audience" misslead you. They'll do 20 drag races, the Zonda will win all of them, then on the 21st the driver of the Zonda miss shifts and the Jag wins. That's the one they show.

Clarkson is funny and entertaining, but Top Gear is known to stage results just to prove a stupid point that he's trying to make. Even though that point might be false or missleading.

XJ220
Performance
0-60 3.9 seconds
Top Speed 213 MPH
Weight: 3025lbs
Horse Power: 549hp
Torque:475.0 ft lbs @ 4500 rpm

Zonda
0-60: 3.6 seconds
Top Speed: 220 MPH
Horsepower: 555
Torque: 553.0 ft lbs @ 4050 rpm
Weight: 2756 lbs.
0-60: 3.6 seconds
Top Speed: 220 MPH
Horsepower: 555

Anyone want to explain to me how the XJ220 would win in any category?

it was all interior stuff. noise-cancelling headsets, MP3 player and whatnot. and it looked like the car came from the factory with all that stuff. I want to see the shop that guy trusted his car to.
