1/4 mile times?

16.4 is what the road tests on a 2000 produced when new - probably close for most of the automatic XJ's.
My 89 with borla, hi-flow cat, K&N, advanced timing and more fuel pressure ran 15.3 with 3.73 gears and 255X60 BFG's

Would a manual trans be faster or slower, or does it depend a lot on driver technique? I never thought about racing my jeep, I enjoy the off pavement, but it would be fun to beat an import. I hate those things. I couldn't stop laughing at a recent simpson's where in the background the movies had "3 fast 3 furious" playing.

5sp for sure will be faster. More gears and lower axle ratios are better cause it helps keep the motor in the power band
