I am not sure of the drive train loss associated with the ZF but this dyno reads lower slightly so it could be that.... I hear circa 7-8% lower but I just wanted a baseline and then view the gains. Ill take it to my other friends DynoJet maybe this week to see what they see. It reads more favorable as I have dyno'd my cars on both in the past. Id like to think the ZF isn't all that bad since some of the RS7 guys are not seeing that much DT loss.

Spoke to Jeremy. Seems like really good guy.
The dyno curves are not out yet for the v6 tunes, but when they come out I'll get the tune if the results are decent or at least linear around the lower/mid power band.

Not that this has anything to do with OE tuning, but there's an interesting thread over in the XK section about the challenges others have been having with other tunes on the Jaguar 5.0L engine

I am with you. Had Aston DBS, 430, string of 911's this car put a big smile on my face when I borrowed one for a few days. Had to have one so mine is coming in a couple of weeks!
Stratus with black suede interior.

Hey Vic
I know this is a relatively old thread, but how does your f type compare in your mind to the V10 R8?
Im really torn between the two now that i know the f type will be receiving a manual tranny in the near future.

Im looking for a more personal comparison, as opposed to the usual benchmark comparisons those car compare sites offer.

How does the ride feel in both, suspension-wise?
Steering feel?
Acceleration? Throttle feedback?
Interior comparable at all?
Etc

Any insight you can give will be much appreciated
Thanks!
