Nice Ride - I don't remember you ordering White Seats though.

My friend, the Pro Golfer got his Black, but everytime I've stopped by his House, he's not there.

Was amazing to watch a showroom stock version of this car spank the Ferrari 458
s that came to run the Sun Valley Road Rally. Showroom stock car (a local owner) laid down 197 MPH IIRC.

A spring drop would be nice as well, another member had his car fitted with VelocityAP springs and they look great but I am unsure as to whether I'll do this or not:
www.VelocityAP.com

The specs are this is the base supercharged V6 @ 340hp with an 8-speed ZF auto w/paddles. The next jump up is the 380hp S model and then comes the big boy, the 550hp R model.

Car is awesome to drive, very responsive and the standard brake system is killer...I am very much enjoying this car!

I was teasing you. I'm on jaguar forums as well and noticed you here. I've had a V8S F Type sine May. Absolutely love the car. I bought the spacers also!
