The relatively wealthy Jeep XJ enthusiast that buys this LS Jeep is getting a better than brand new unique/custom XJ that will be a pleasure to own and drive. 450HP.. unreal.. imagine the noise this thing pumps out...

To turn a profit you would need $80AUD gst inclusive per hour, your 500 hours equals $40,000.
I like V8’s, for sure. But I think the future of ‘beasts’ will be electrics or twin electrics.

Perhaps Davis will make an Electric 500hp XJ.
I would love to see and electric conversion for and XJ and would consider doing mine down the track if the cost wasn't prohibitive. There was one here years ago.. http://driveev.com/jeepev/home.php
Mine has done 333,000 kms, so when the rebuild is due... electric maybe the way to go!!
Cheers,
