I want this! (my brother is actually getting one - kills me, lol, he's my "little brother", & 10 yrs. my junior... yet, makes ALMOST 2 times what I do annually)!



Jaguar XKR specs

http://www.sportscarcup.com/jaguar-xkr/

Top Speed: 155 mph / 250 km/h (limited)
0-60 mph: 4.9 seconds
Engine: Supercharged 4.2-liter 420bhp V8

* This Jaguar IS a "bad-A$$" ride, by all means... its technology is impressive, "to-the-max" imo, & not 1/2 unaffordable either! Well, it's pricey (70-90k), but the insurance is massive too, @ around 3k annually in U.S. Dollars also (have to consider this too).

I have to finally move back into mgt. after a 16++ yr absence from it, just so I can go after toys like that!

(I "went away" from mgt. around 1992, on purpose, to be a BETTER mgr. in this field, by first having had a lot of hands-on in it @ the levels of subordinates I plan to one day manage in THIS field (this was a goal of mine, because the best bosses I ever had were such guys, & imo + experience thusfar in it? That type is RARE in this field - but, they also had the GREATEST track-records of success I saw in mgt. too in those that manage computing related stuff)))

Only problem? I like 'tech level stuff' better than mgt. tasks, oddly enough... money is NOT everything to me.



The car I own now:



Will do 144mph, on the "top-end"... This I have seen & done 1st hand in it, but it WON'T do a 4.9 sec. 0-60 (more like 7 seconds), & that Jaguar will.

APK

P.S.=> The "electronically limited" speed? Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a reprogrammed shift point & fuel delivery + rpm altered chip out there already to circumvent that... the car above, imo? Is a 200++ mph car, easily, just being artificially LIMITED in that regards!

Computers (even in the form of chips/PROMs in cars)? They're EVERYWHERE... apk
