Interesting how similar the MSRP are to those in the U.K.

My two cars plus my lawn tractor add up to around 570HP. Hard to use them all at the same time.

Maybe you could add a twin scroll supercharger with direct injection to the lawn mower, an 8spd positraction, dual overdrive tranny, AWD, and a roll cage??

Seems there is price creep as the match to my '14 is about $3k more. Also more ala carte options rather than every thing packaged. If you like 400 it isn't much more, seems worth it.

Yea, I've seen those things. I will stay with my F-Type. You would have to be "Unhinged" to get into that hobby.......

Then I could mow my lawn in 2 minutes. That'd be nice, except for the skid marks from drifting around the yard...

It's actually sort of a wimpy sport: they make you remove the blade. lol

I notice the start button is not ignis orange but has red flashing illumination like the ignis orange button. My old button just flashed white.

Looks like you have to pay another $220 for the active exhaust button. I like the look of the older performance seats over the newer ones. No more tornado wheels.

Anyone think they might be pushing the 2.0 turbo a bit hard to get a stated 296hp out of it?
If GM has been easily able to do it, on premium gas, for a decade or so with their 2 liter turbo 4's, then I don't see why Jaguar's engine couldn't also reliably handle it.

So about this new spoiler option....is the button functional to raise and lower the spoiler at will? like say you're just cruising at 40mph, can you deploy it to go up? and then back down? Or does it just shut off the deploy at 72mph?
