I had just installed the code 3 pulley...now that I have a tune, the limiter is raised to 190, but no where to try it out. This little car is more stable than my old muscle cars by far...except for the Z06, this little car is a sleeper for sure...now the new vette...that is the only car I would give up my little xf for...that is an awsom car...
Amen. If your a driver of fast cars past and present then, and only then will you know what this car can give you in HP per dollar. If you only take your car out of the garage once in a while or you drive your car with no HP modifications, then you are doing nothing more then going from point (a) to point (b) and enjoying the drive in the country.
That's fine, but some of us like to drive these cars like they want to be driven..with the foot down on the pedal and to the limit on those winding country roads. This car can handle that blind folded. Having owned many,many sports cars in the past 30 years the Limited holds up to the best of the bunch. Be nice if it had a 6 speed tranny though. I mean a good 6 speed tranny.
