You know something?
You make an art of trolling don't you??

This kind of comment is an example of how pathetic the attitude is here.

I mean , how on earth can you compare a fixed CR engine like a turbo diesel with a variable CR engine like a large naturally aspirated petrol engine??
Or a 30 year old F1 turbo engine with anything in the production environment?
Don't you know any physics?

Modern cars are more concerned with CO2 emissions/specific fuel consumption etc.
Adding to that a great deal of science goes into such things as electronic DI diesel injectors etc.
(My brother worked for CAV Rotod on ECU & R & D, btw).

As for your XF V8. Show me the fuel consumption my friend.
You will have nothing to be proud of at all.
All those engines GUZZLE gas like it's going out of fashion.
They are a total anachronism in a world governed by rigid speed limits and high priced fuel anyhow, and you know it.

There are good reasons why, but I won't bore you with the details.
You seem to know it all anyway. 

here is a selection from the brand of forum members here...

"You just keep polishing that lump of Imp alloy, Why not stick 4 of them together and see if it beats an XF V8"..

"why don't you just SOD OFF"...

"we grown ups will continue to enjoy our big boys toys away from your infantile 'my head is better than your head' ramblings."

"Multivalve's attempts to sell us his wares"

With this kind of stupidity when I'm working 15hrs a day on advanced porting techniques, you may understand someone getting a little "p..ss..d off".

Also the Jaguar "religion" forbids me from criticising the Jaguar "Allah Akbar".

Draw your own conclusions.
You can start a new thread, but no doubt the moderators will close it down like they did all the others..
