Have an occasional play with a local one, pretty rapid and thought he would leave me for dead. Was quite pleased when he was nowhere near doing so.

* Not on a public road of course.

In a 300bhp mr2 one of them couldn't get away. Seemed like nothing in it...was quite happy that my £3k car was keeping up with at a guess 30K+ (and probably the rest)

XK or XKR?

5l XK is around 350bhp with a weight of about 1700kg so no match for a well sorted modded Scoob.

5l XKR is around 510bhp with a similar weight so things would get interesting I reckon unless your Scoob is seriously modded.

Looked seriously at XKRs before I bought my SL - they are no slouch.

Was a 2010 XK.
Evo has them @ 380/380.

The Scoob had a definite edge lower down but once up to speed this was quicker, although not substantially so.

Yeah I'd say that's about right for a non-supercharged one.
