Folks,

After careful consideration and deliberation, I decided to sell my F-Type R Coupe. It just wasn't the car for me. The next toy is a Cayman R, which is much less powerful, but about 1,000lbs lighter.

This is a great group. I'll miss the drives and meet-ups!

Will sell the few bits I added soon. Storm Wheels with Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires, Jaguar OE all-weather (rubber) mats, and Jaguar OE aluminum shift paddles.

 

Have fun with the Cayman R. As much as I like the FTR for the looks, sound and power, it's not a nimble track car. I'm sure you'll have much more fun with the CR for those purposes. I might be interested in the storm wheels, keep us posted.

 

Have fun with the Porsche! If you're looking for a strong track car, you're making the right move.

I will probably end up with another Porsche at some point in the future, but I'm having too much fun with my F-Type for now.

I didn't even know that Jag has OE all-weather rubber floor mats for the F-Type. I might be interested in those myself.

 

Scott, would it not be cheaper to get your drive and garage floor reinforced, than to sell the F-Type and buy a lighter car???

Oh. And look at a Cayman GT4 before you hand any money over for the Cayman R...

 

The problem with the GT4 is probably allocation. I imagine it's tough to get a GT4 allocation and/or you have to pay a significant markup. Frankly, one of the reasons I didn't get a GT3. It would have been pushing my budget, but the real deal breaker was no one had allocation and/or they all wanted crazy markup. I just got tired of dealing with that.

 

Already got the Cayman R. This should hold me over for a bit.

 

Pictures and specifics please...

 

Good choice, Scott.

Your desire for lightweight is primarily what drove me to the lightest F-Type possible, the base with no options. I looked long and hard at the Cayman R, but I wanted a convertible and really dislike the Boxster's looks. While the Porsches are better performers, I preferred the looks, feel, and sounds of the F-Type convertible, but I continually fantasize about how great it would be if it could shed another 400 lbs.

 

Don't we all
