How fast is your XJ?

[Mudderoy]

Okay granted, lifted and larger tires is a clear indication that I wasn't going for on road handling, or speed, but I'm still curious as to what she'll do.

I tried a 0 to 60 test today, and it was a dismal 11.3 seconds. lol I'll need to try it again under better circumstances. This is with a stock 4.0 and auto and 4:56 gears.

A couple of days ago I managed to get the old bucket up to 100 mph. An easy feat with stock tires and the stock 3:55, but the first time with the 4:56 gears. Seems like it was turning 3800 rpm, but I didn't look at it really close.

What kind of performance to you get out of your XJ 0 to 60 mph?

According to a 0-60 calc I found that uses 1/8 mile numbers, 2.6 seconds.

Those cats are putting me out of a job.

Yours is a little sluggish.

My xj does 0-60 in 11-12 seconds depending on the temperature outside (hotter is slower).

But I have an excuse that you don't have....I live in Colorado at 5000-6000 feet.

Me too. I don't have a speed limiter, been 128 in the 1/4.

I have an old G-tech around here somewhere, need to see what the XJ will do.

I have run it all the way through third gear and into OD but the speedo was pegged. Had to have been close to the speed limiter. Had a ricer fly by me on the highway so I chased him down, couldn't pass him but i am sure he was like WTF there is a lifted jeep right on my ass.

 

[jeepinwi]

The speed limiter has become an enemy of mine. I need to disable it someday and see what I can really do on top end.

 

[KMK172008]

the police xj's ecm doesn't have the limiter. And I think the jet or edge ECM chip removes it.

Hard to find a police package ECM these days... And if you get a retired police xj, it's gonna be junk according to my friendly local sheriff! LOL

The NCHP issued 2-door XJs to the Troop First Sergeants (not the typical younger/gung-ho patrol/pursuit troopers) so these are likely kept in decent shape. YMMV of course.

Last time I was in Raleigh, I saw a bunch of new Tahoes (and Chargers) on the HP garage lot, so they are probably in the process of culling the older Jeeps (and Crown Vics) out of their fleet.

 

[KMK172008]

I'm surprised they aren't getting something with a little bit better gas mileage than tahoes and chargers. That's our tax dollars paying for a 10 mpg tahoe.

According to my patented ass dyno, mines fairly quick......

Of course, thats compared to the two rats, a squirel and dead mouse that powered my Mazda Pickup......
