Wait wait wait, I have one of these cars and it actually runs pretty good and strong.

After Ford took over and changed the electrical system in 1992.5, the XJS became more reliable. I am not saying its a honda but after many hard hours on the highway, it will not blow up.

Also most of the cars caught fire because people were not driving them and the fuel lines would dry and crack therefore leaking gas catching on fire.

If you do your proper tune-ups, the cars will run just fine.

Just my 2 cents

BTW, if you ever saw Cannonball Run, they used a V12 version that had almost 400hp
