I'm wondering, was there axel ratio option when you bought the V-8 Jag ?
I owned a 1966 E-type Roadster that had plenty left at 130. A 66 coup I owned later seemed winded at 120 but was much quicker off the line (and could humiliate a Corvette driver).

Like I can afford a new Jag, lol.

I bought it used, and don't know what it has off-hand. A friend has a recent Mustang that creams me off the line (mine is automatic), but I catch him fairly quickly and my thinking is my top end is better than his.

The times i've been in the 110-120 range, it is smooth as silk, and the rpms are in the cruising range.
