Default Hand my rear end handed to me by a Jag XF last night...

I just read the article one of the kind members here posted up about the SRT-6 being *UNDER* estimated at 330hp and truly being around 349/332 with a high 4 second zero to sixty time.

I by no means consider myself a professional driver, but last night from stop light to stop light I could NOT get ahead of a 2009 Jag XF, which I presume (and hope!) was the supercharged version. Now I understand these are both fast cars, but I just had no chance whatsoever. Just felt like transmission-wise I wasn't in the right gear for the job... I *was* in auto mode.

Am I correct in assuming this car comes into it's power band higher in the rev range? Am I just that sh!tty of a driver? I suppose considering the numbers on both cars are so close I shouldn't be too concerned, but still, I really wanted to hand it to that guy. Especially the way he had cut around me on a TURN lane to begin with.
