Default Pickup up this Baby Tonight!!! (Anything I should do? lol)

2017 F Type S AWD Convertible
Glacier White, Black top, Black int.
(Black Exterior, Sport Seats, Climate pack, Premium Leather Pack)

So Ive owned any corvettes over the years and decided it was time for a change. My heart was set on a 911 but after adding all the options I wanted the car as out of my price range. The Jag was never on my Radar until I actually saw one and blown away on looks...

Then I went home and started doing some research - Called the Dealer and bought the car over the phone without driving it! Picked it up today and must say the car is 100x the 2016 corvette stingray I had. Smooth, fast, beautiful, .......



What should I do now?? set up the App? Any features I should play with??
(Still can't believe a 100K + car doesn't come stock with backup camera or Parking sensors!!!)

What I did:
1. Drive car til I was exhausted (pun intended)
2. Read 1 post from https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...bought-150558/
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until you get through all posts
4. Drive car
5. Read other posts of interest
6. Repeat 4 and 5 (I'm currently on this step)

2) Contact Stuart at VelocityAP for a tune

Use Waze for Navigation. Get a magnetic or other dash mount (thread on it here).

Get a license plate backup cam linked to your cell.

Yes, I second that, I see you don't have the vision package, which is basically a must for the vert. You should definitely look into getting the Pearl.

Put the top down (turn the heat up since your in the "Great White North") and enjoy the tailpipe melody.

Congratulations on a classy looking ride. Glad you passed on the Porsche route. Too damn boring and common.

Congratulations. I suggest removing your front license plate and getting a Sho-n-go license plate bracket. Hopefully bumper wasn't drilled and it's just taped on.

SO Today I finally opened it up.. Shut off Trac Control, Dynamic Mode all the way and sport shift - This car is amazing. I couldn't stop ripping it up around town. The sound is fantastic - instant stress relief.

I've never had a AWD Sports car before - always RWD Muscle cars....

The take off is insane without any slippage.

Ya I made the right decision

Today I just received the VAP power and handling set: overdrive pulley, 200 cell sports cats and downpipe, tune, and lowering springs. I can't wait to get these installed. I will do a dyno before and after. Waiting on the headers and the exhaust to complete from VAP, then I will be complete.
