Huge amount of car for the money the XJR's.
I know that you can get some scary bills from them, particularly examples that haven't been cared for, but I'm slightly baffled as to why they're so cheap when the equivilent German super-saloon they compared well against when new is several times the price.
I do wonder if you haven't gone rather too far with the GTi-6 though if you've made it so compromised that you don't want to drive it - after all, it's a bit pointless being a touch quicker on track if it's now so noisy/stiff/uncomfortable to drive it to the track in the first place. Certainly I've driven over to the 'Ring plenty of times and even in stripped out 205's it's been fine on the autoroute jaunt over there without the need to stop.
