I've also seen magazines that show around 3.5s - is that pretty accurate for stock? Not that it's terribly important - but I've wondered what people are testing it to be (without a tune).
Jaguar claims 3.9 s. That's about what you will get. Some day you might get 3.7 and some day 4.2.

This is not true. You can get 3.5 out of a stock AWD R, If you shifting manually yourself and have PS4 or cup tires. If you just sit there and punch it with the shitty pzeros and let the car crappily shift for you, you will get some "crappy" time around 3.8-3.9. Which is not crappy at all

GT4 intakes - that is an Eventuri (-like) system then, or?

Yes but only around $300, same gains if not greater as the cone filters used have high flow rate.

What do you find is optimal shift point?
I will admit for my runs I've literally put car in Dynamic Vmax mode, but I've then put suspension back to normal and also the gear box back to normal on the menu. Then gear lever is in S with S1 selected, I then punch it and let it auto upchange, I also don't hold my car with any RPM on foot brake, how about you?

I am asking because I am so close to that 10s pass and maybe if you've found its quicker shifting manual (what rpm) and holding on foot brake (what rpm) it might just get me there as current PB is 11.1@126mph in my stock SVR with GT4 intakes (factory tune).

What lightweight suspension mods you done and how much weight does the hood save?
I don't have a build thread on my car, but I've been wanting to do one, but I never get around to it. Here are the mods on the Jag, overall weight savings ended up around 138lbs (62.6kg for the rest of the world). However have a convertible and AWD which starts me at a handicap. Additionally I lost 10 lbs personally so that must help as well.

  • Lithium Battery (saves a ton of weight, this was based on Unhingd suggestion, -25lbs)
  • Custom Carbon Fiber Hood (got this after my car was squashed in an automated garage system, -15lbs)
  • Eventuri Intakes (-5lbs)
  • Velocity AP Valvetronic Exhaust (must lighter than stock) + 200-cell downpipes (-15lbs)
  • Velocity AP Lowering Springs (-12lbs)
  • Wortec Rotors (-46lbs)
  • Velocity AP Tune (slightly modified)
  • Eurotoys Crank Pulley
  • SVR Fenders + bumper + side skirts
  • SVR Maelstrom Wheels (-20lbs)
  • Other random mods:
    • Stealth Startup - Custom vacuum pump to bypass stock, so now the button actually keeps the valve open/closed, no surprise opening and closing, this also allows the car to start with valves closed which was important given my extremely loud setup.
    • Lighted Jaguar kick-plates
    • Vinyl asymmetrical red-stripes
    • Clear bra - Entire Front
    • Escort CI 360 Laser Jammer + Radar Detector
    • 1-touch Convertible Open/Close + Activate from Keys (mod4cars smarttop)
    • Blackvue front+rear camera
    • Custom Engine Cover
    • KP Technologies Electronic Beep Module (so the car sounds luxurious
      )

I haven't tried the adjusting the gear box and suspension to normal, I will give this a try today (see if that makes a difference). I thought the car would shift optimally for me, but it wasn't the case, it was always shifting late, as if even the car wasn't expecting the power came on so quick. This could be because I am tuned and the shifts were programmed for stock output, unsure? I would shift about 500rpm before redline and then the car would display more linear acceleration. The supercharger efficiency caps out about there anyways with the tune. I'll try to get a couple runs in today given the ground is finally dry.

Gibbo,
the lithium battery actually got you a 40lb weight savings (12 vs 52 lbs) and the Eurotoys lower pulley got you another 6 (1.75 vs 7.75 lbs).

Is there an app for that? 0-60 timing and such, that is. It would seem to be something entirely possible with a smart phone, but I've never heard of one. GPS supposedly accurate to a yard or so and Waze, Google Maps, Garmin and others display speed of the car. Why not!?

Would you be able to link where you got those intakes and if they fit a 2016 F-type R

Thank you, so are you pulling the paddle around 6000rpm?
Mine is stock and it seems to up-change by itself around 6500rpm.

Certain try suspension in soft, it won me a tenth in quarter mile terms, the gearbox setting let me know how you go on. You might drop a 2.90s to 60 run.

True, I am stock though, so no lower or upper pulley on my car, just what it came from Jaguar with.

They should fit fine, you need to check the thread about more supercharge noise and whine, I got them from ITG but you have to email/call as its not a commercial off the shelf part, all the details are in that thread.

you are incorrect. A stock F-type R doesn’t do 3.5

It sure does. Been documented multiple times by the press in addition to members including myself.

I love to spoil the argument. Suppose you head out for a 200 mile trip. You pull away in 3 secs, then you cruise for 3 hours..

Now you pull away in 4 secs, then you cruise 2 hours 59 minutes and 59 sec....

Ah, but if I pull away in 3 seconds and you in 4 then I'm in front of you all the way!
On reflection, that's a win for you as you get to see a beautiful car for the whole journey!

It was designed to mark you as a pauper, in spite of the blue you chose!
