Default Just got this beautiful lady

2016 F Type S AWD, picked her up with only 2,800 miles on her.

I drove it for about 100 miles so far and I have to say... I am in love.
I've driven many, many cars but this one is simply amazing.
The exhaust notes, the shifts, the.... grip... I could not stop smiling.

Raced my Wifes 5.0 mustang (E85, tune, exhaust, intake and injectors as well as 305's out back) and beat her up to 70, then we let off.

I do feel like a little more power would do this lady wounder, so any suggestions on maybe a pulley and tune?

Also, anything I need to watch out for?

Check with Velocity AP or Eurotoys, both sponsors of this forum. Both can add up to another 70 hp to your V6S with a lower pulley and a tune they can send you with your very own handheld uploading device. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...1/#post1498772

Have Mike quote you a price without the K&N air filter. If you plan on keeping the car for an extended period, the oil soaked filters will not filter particulates as well as the OEM filters. You might also have him provide the dyno results from his package. My results are based on his lower pulley and VAP's tune.

Please, please, please follow the break in period in your owners manual before you go romping on it. Also...consider doing your first oil change at 5000 miles rather than the recommended 16000 miles as there is a TON of metal in factory break in oil. I just turned 13000 miles on my car and just did its second oil change.

Things to watch out for....Immense gratification, and possibly a speeding ticket. :-)
