My new car runs a traction limited 12.8 uncorrected

I replaced my beloved G35 sedan with a Jaguar XF Supercharged end of September. After a 435 RWHP (448 corrected) dyno I was curious to see what the new car could manage in the 1/4 mile. I replaced the crappy Dunlop Sport Max tires with awesome Michelin Pilot Super Sports (Dunlops are in the garage as spares) last Sunday. So this Sunday was a perfect trip to the track. I'm not sure how DA will effect a supercharged car but the DA was 2702.

My best time was below

RT .5958
60ft 2.1450
1/8 mph 88.81
1/8th et 8.4753
1/4 mph 112.73
1/4 ET 12.8505

I had a best mph of 113.35 mph

My first race was a old school GTO, cell phone camera failed to flip so the outside the car video is upside down.

Traction is a huge issue I had to roll off the line and gradually open the throttle you can see it in the video and on my RT, I need slicks Christmas is just around the corner!

The best race for me was one I lost at the tree to a motorcycle. I ran him down and ended up putting in a faster ET although he crossed first. The shock when I passed him right before the lights was awesome.

That is pretty amazing for such a big car.

Thank you Razi! It has a mid 12 run in it if I could use full throttle in first, below is what happened when I tried full throttle start vs a 11 second Mustang. It wheel hopped so hard it upshifted and turned the traction control back on
