Hey all. I joined in 2016 when I had a ‘16 R. A deer plowed into the side of it in ‘18 and I traded it a couple months later. I’m thinking about another sports car now and the R is back on my list. Couple questions:

does Jag still use the ZF transmission? I’m in an AMG right now that has a multi clutch that is super fast. If so, has the ZF been improved in terms of shift speed?

What’s the current exhaust like compared to the older models? That was my favorite thing about the car.

 

Still the exact same ZF 8HP70 trans with the exact same shift speed AFAIK.
From all reports the 2022 and 2023 MYs have toned down the exhaust quite a bit from the earlier years.

 

VelocityAP offers a transmission tune now…
