I have surprised several people on the track at Willow-Glen.
It's odd not many people will try to race me when I am driving this car. I have a flat 500 and way more people try to launch off the line at lights when I'm in that car but it's rare that anyone tries to race me in my xf.
It's funny to because these na xf's are not exactly the fastest car around. We would get our asses handed to us by most Subaru's, BMW m3 and above any v8 pony car (mustang, challenger charger, Camaro etc) even Mazdas if they aren't bone stock.
Honestly I am quite disappointed to find that there is very little that can be done to give this car more HP (inb4 "Durr hurr shoulda bought the ess arr tee!!")
