Well I've sold off 3/4 of the musclecars, just have the '69 to unload and then I'm out of that scene...but no,lol!

I still have the '28 roadster currently getting painted gloss black and the Jag as my play toys with the funny car as my main interest so not out of the hobby entirely, just shifting gears.

I just got the standard F-Type with the 340hp supercharged 3.0L V6 ($65k) and the standard 8-speed automatic with paddle shifters, that's about all I need.

The car has an exact 50-50 weight distribution whereas the 5.0L 550hp V8 ($99k) adds about 200lbs to the nose of the car. There's also the 380hp 3.0L V6 S-model ($77k) with a slightly larger blower and more features.

For this money I could have gotten a C7 with a boatload more power and features (my model doesn't even come with powered seats) but the design is kind of edgy for my tastes whereas the Jaguar has much more curved, sexy alloy panels which looks much more pleasing to the eye...but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Awe, C7 or Jag F-Type...either way you're gonna look like a big ol pimp rolling down the road.
