Jaguar F Type Coupe

[reevers]

I have owned 3 911's for the past 10 years. Was waiting for the 991 PDK to hit the 65k mark on the second market before getting my Fourth One.

After the launch of the F Type Coupe V6s I am a bit undecided!!

Any thoughts??

F-Type? - You won't like it! [] Not nearly enough grunt.[]

I drove the jaguar sports range on the track a couple of weeks ago at Thruxton - various types of things including monster XJ things ending in R and RS with over 500 BHP and little steering feel.
I drove a good few laps in the F types both V6 and V8 , the latter was very tail happy on the damp track. I thought a nicely balanced chassis and good sound but you notice the additional weight over the 911, 200kg I think.
Not a patch on the 911 IMO.

You're right Tony,

I tried out the Jaguar XKR - S GT a few weeks ago - a special pre-production car - only 50 being built worldwide and the sportiest model available. Traction was appalling and it proved unstable under heavy braking on bumpy roads. Good fun though.

BTW the engine is stamped "Jaguar/Land Rover" Not sure I'd pay £130K + for something with a Land Rover engine in it. []

Regards,

Clive.

The C2 pdk is now hitting £65k so time to get one! Test the F and then decide, but take along a weekend bag and ask the dealer to find somewhere to put it...

BTW I forgot to say, the Jag had a gearbox warning light come up on the dash following my short foray with it! [8|]

Dont do it , I had two XK's one was a 2011 XKR in Lunar Grey beautiful car and loved it to bits
then one day I had a test drive of a 911, and the rest is history, F-Type looks great and will be a fabulous car but will never be like a 911

Personally drive both - at least it will give a bit of fun for the afternoon. The resale value of both the Porsches and Jaguars are average, so if you have the patience of Solomon both will be much cheaper next year.

I don't understand all this fuss about the F type Jaguar boot space? On my drive I manager to get my phone and 911 keys in the boot, although I did have to keep my house keys in my pocket[][]
