when its in sport mode on the s type r i heard that it doesnt use the 6th gear, does that limit its top speed ? could its top speed be higher with the 6th gear and sport mode off? aaaaaand if u happen to know if the same applies for the 4.0 5 speed one does it do the same?

@bacbodyspray top speed is electronically limited to 155mph. I hit 157mph and it threw a gearbox fault code and put it in limp mode. 6th gear is not needed and if u could go in 6th and the car was built and fast enough you could probably see 200mph with enough room

@FoMoCo4ever What mods does that Jag have?

[FoMoCo4ever]

@ironbull2003 None the car is bone stock. The car would greatly benefit with a tune which i never got around to getting. For the cost of the tune and $500 i got a 88 Mustang Coupe that runs 12's Lmao

@FoMoCo4ever Tell me the spot were u can buy a12 sec car for $500 ;)

[FoMoCo4ever]

@ironbull2003 don't forget to add the $1700 tune then u gotta find someone selling a car that barely runs cuz of a couple dumb things like 50lbs of fuel pressure instead of 38 and 5 degrees timing instead of 14 so you can get it cheap work on in 15 mins then be set for the past year lol

@kcfd06 No idea why you're mentioning GM here. They only make fake Fords.

[tonytsui96]

Top speed can be reached in both 5th and 6th gears. Both are overdrive gears.

read from bottom to top thats the order it goes and i didnt write this so i did not plagiarize

[kcfd06]

bottom line gm still owes money

[kcfd06]

As it turns out, the Obama administration put $13.4 billion of the aid money as “working capital” in an escrow account when the company was in bankruptcy. The company is using this escrow money–government money–to pay back the government loan.

[kcfd06]

But when Mr. Whitacre says GM has paid back the bailout money in full, he means not the entire $49.5 billion–the loan and the equity. In fact, he avoids all mention of that figure in his column. He means only the $6.7 billion loan amount.So how is it paying it?

[kcfd06]

The vast bulk of the bailout money was transferred to GM through the purchase of 60.8% equity stake in the company–arguably an even worse deal for taxpayers than the loan, given that the equity position requires them to bear the risk of the investment without any guaranteed return. (The Canadian government likewise gave GM $1.4 billion as a pure loan, and another $8.1 billion for an 11.7% equity stake. The U.S. and Canadian government together own 72.5% of the company.)

[kcfd06]

@cbr900rr919 Because a loan of such a huge amount would have been politically controversial, the Obama administration handed GM only $6.7 billion as a pure loan. (It asked for only a 7% interest rate–a very sweet deal considering that GM bonds at that time were trading below junk level.)

[kcfd06]

@cbr900rr919 Uncle Sam gave GM $49.5 billion last summer in aid to finance its bankruptcy. (If it hadn’t, the company, which couldn’t raise this kind of money from private lenders, would have been forced into liquidation, its assets sold for scrap.)
