[sonyviva308]

This is Head-to Head right?

[77ROLLS77]

[MarkieBhoy17]

how much do you guys charge 4 a tune up?

[Bigbilly1987]

Try Usedjags.com, There the biggest independent Jaguar dealer in the south west of England! Got some really nice cars

[rapxworld]

i hate that kind of body kit they use on this model ....!!

[AlexanderLindell]

The bodykit looks like it is glued on

[Paiste402]

body kit looks like it was glued on, then painted with a shade lighter paint than the rest of the car

[13w15h0y]

hi, to anyone out there who works for paramount performance, how much does a jag like this cost?

[iainthornton]

nice, but I think a 4.2 XJR is PLENTY for me haha

[desimunda116]

whats the music playing in the background in the beginning i heard a lot of it in jeremy's old videos and i really wanna know the name

[ParamountPerformance]

Paramount have already tuned a new XKR to 578bhp with out sports cats they are on there way.

[mondeost2202008]

It would've looked better if the body kit looked like it was part of the body and not attached and then loose the fog lights. Great job on the tuning though and that exhaust is just epic.

Is ParamountPerformance going to tune the new XK and its new 5.0L 550HP V8 to 600 something?

[branboom]

the hash lines on the body kit dont fit the car, sign me up for the exhaust though.

[midgetman433]

this is a proper tune up of a car....

[Jaylacken]

Did You Know, jaguar claimed these silly BHP.

turns out

4l: 320-335

4.2 340-360

i do agree that the body kit isnt as nice as youd think, but check out ZEEMAX!

now thats the bodykit id be intrested in :O

[elsuicidale]

This brings me to an idea. Since the XJR 1998 has the same engine,why don't you put a smaller pulley on it, change the exhaust and voila, a 4-door saloon with Aston Martin specs!

[ParamountPerformance]

Already done we can tune the XJR's to the same power and beyond this upgrade if desired.

[elsuicidale]

NICE!! Bet that must be a funny sight at the lights

[Timothayyy]

I think the body kit looks pretty ugly. But it sounds good, and you cant argue with the extra horsies.

[norra124]

Well you see, not everybody thinks that Aston Martins look nice, well sure I think the V8 Vantage looks nice, but I have seen Volvos that looks far better than DB7's :P

[wazzupriders]

still looks better than the new xk's

[Eidrian111]

The bodykit is awful!!!!!!!!

[dominiccook12]

well done paramount performance

[isafos]

Ugly Paramount performance badge.

[AmvC]

Hey if you close your eyes a little bit at 1:45m , it looks like the R230 SL :-)

[urbex2007]

A company called LISTER used to do a Jaguar XJS conversion to give 500BHP.

[Buran288gto]

The bodykit looks awful!

[Krichwollef]

aye!

[AbdullahFTW]

i agree. its fugly.

[yorky321]

that sounds like its on steroids

[richie3624]

best cars ever.

[abrahambj92]

Love the exhaust note

[TheSaintST1]

Hmm.. don't know about the bodykit... bit tacky, but love the idea of 450hp on tap... maybe just a little bit more :)

[bangcamaro226]

agreed. besides that most deffinatly an xk8 not a new xkr

[scarface115]

what is the 1/4 mile on this xkr with the 60 hp added to it.

[Jaylacken]

the car has had alot more than 60hp.

jaguar claimed the 4 liter was 400bhp

on paramount rolling road, when my mate took his up. turns out there only 320-340 BHP!

the 4.2 is around the 350 mark.

Well done paramount must of cost alot?

sport cats?

Nice!

[scarface115]

are you sure it wasnt 350 rwhp? if jaguar claims an extra 40 hp which they dont have, thats really pathetic.

[Jaylacken]

well when jaguar claimed the cars had 400bhp, it was the engine alone.

once the 400bhp from the engine gets through the car with the weight, they turn around that mark,

4l: 320-335

4.2: 340-355

also aludi's RS4, They claim there around 400-500bhp. turns out, at the fly weel there only 340BHP !!!!

[scarface115]

lol, i thought you meant 340 hp at the crank. yes, 340 bhp makes sense.

[bottlecap33]

Kudos car looks great and sounds even better

[fokGoogol]

Old but nice :)
