Chicken!!! I really miss the 6 cylinder 5 speed cabriolet that I sold in one of my many moments of weakness. It was distinctive and quick, and much more sports car like than the V12s. Still, the V12 eats up miles like no other car, and if you get a pre January 1 89 car it has the Lucas ignition. (No jokes here....) A clever technician(!!) can tweek more power AND mpg out of them. (See modifing the advance curve) Of course the rest of the powertrain has to be fettled properly as well, and the driver needs to be attuned to what is going on under the hood. And if you change the fuel lines, the "Ring of Fire" remains dormant Now if I could find a Ferrari or Lambo for XJS money I would up grade in an instant, but until then, or a suprise lottery win.......
