Default Car and Driver F type coupe R review

Got my November, 2014 issue of Car and Driver in the mail this afternoon, and besides a thorough "investigation" of the upcoming XE model, there was a stellar review of the F type coupe R. I'm not sure I've ever read a more glowing account.

And again, the exhaust note is the rave. I was having some work done on my house the other day in my garage and I had to move the Ferrari out and the Jag; the worker only made mention of the Ferrari's lines but clearly spoke to the sound of the Jag. This was interesting since I run a Capristo exhaust in my 458. Good for Jag!!!

BTW, if anybody noticed the 3.5 secs 0-60mph, that's with a rollout. That's why you've probably seen 3.5 to 3.8 times (with and without rollout).
