I haven't found any buttons for it. I did a solid burnout in front of my garage.

It's a NA V12... Of course it'll do a burnout. But, it didn't bitch and nothing kicked in to stop me. However, mine's an automatic. So, it was not a very long burnout. I didn't do a brake stand or anything.

I didn't really chuck it sideways. So, I don't know if there's any stability control. There is ABS, as I could feel the pedal fight me a few times.

It also has an ancient radar detector that's built right into it - but is definitely aftermarket. I'd wondered what that thing was in the picture. It's a radar detector. I have no idea if it works.

if it has traction/stability control, it doesn't work well and there are no options to change it.

Keep in mind this was built out of parts from other cars, mostly Ford cars, and meant to be a 'budget' Aston Martin at low 6 figures.

I was wondering what that thing in the picture was too, thinking it might be a radar detector.

I loved the V12 smoothness and power at any speed when I had an XJS

Yeah, the pundits describe the power as 'linear' which works well enough as a descriptor. I enjoy a nice V12 and so far this engine seems okay. It's got a good exhaust note, without being loud and annoying. Considering the era, that's a bit unusual.

I didn't check the 0 to 60 time, I normally don't bother or already know the numbers, but may check tomorrow. If I had to guess, it's probably in the 6 second realm. Again, that's just a guess. It doesn't feel all that heavy, but it's certainly not a light car.

Also, the rear seats are pointless. They are the most useless rear seats I think I've ever seen - like worse than a 911 by a whole lot. I don't think a child's safety seat would even fit in one.

The XJS rear seats were useless too, Good thing my kids were ten and under when I had that! They would not fit back there anymore
