Which Q, 90-93 or 94-96?
Exactly why I'm determined to get all the performance out of the G50 as possible. I think it can be brought to new car performance standards.
It's biggest problem is lack of 5/6 speed automatic transmission. Nobody has ever complained of the VH on the high end. In fact it's High RPM feel/pull is superior to the VQ and VK IMO.. The low end has always been the problem. This is where most people need the power the most.. Coming out of a corner in 2nd gear can feel like the car is dead.. You have to drive this car like an S2000 to make it feel fast...

It crawls from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm in 2nd gear.. Keep it above 4,000 where the VVT kicks in, and you're good.
The 2004 XJ8 I drove never felt like it had any accelration dead spots. It had a 6 speed automatic, and roughly the same amount of power. Low end power is nice to have. It's nice stormnig off the line without hardly any effort. With the Q you have to get above 4,000 to get kickin..

That's never been done before, and has a whole list of problems.. Where to get the custom gears, custom TCU software will be neccasary..
Best thing you can do is a have a fully transmission rebuild with a rebuilt t/c and 4.08 gears. That should drop your 0-60 in the mid to low 6s.. well if you have a 94 you need to defeat the granny gears to obtain those times...
