I appreciate that Vic, I really do...I like how the rear glass almost flows right into the pano roof.
I see you got the whole white/black theme going on with the Audi as well...I'm glad Jaguar decided to paint that section of roof black between the pano and rear glass because the white antenna really looks out of place on the Audi.
Two very sharp cars though, I like your taste...but then again,I might be biased,lol!

Thanks again. The white antenna actually doesnt bother me and creates an odd but unique contrast. I can wrap it but my guy said it would be less than optimal. Im a big white car owner- my audi r8 is white too and then the Porsche is red and Black Series is actually black. I just tuned this beast and its shockingly fast from a dig with awd and rolling runs. Peak gains were 90hp and 125tq but in the usable rpm range the hp gains were close to 120 and the tq was over 130.

I love the R8- it handles better than the Jag IMHO. It has the magnetic shock set up and the car is flat with minimal bounce and compression in even the most intense of turns and at the highest of speeds. The ride is better but the tranny is not; its the 2012 R tronic SMG tranny and even with two software updates I don't like it as much as the ZF8. I heard the DSG R8 is much better and I have no doubt when it comes to transmissions. But outside of the tranny the R8 is amazing and a great second/third car with amazing sound (Ive modified the exhaust to the sexy F1 sound).

The current R8 runs the DSG which is dual clutch technology so Im not sure how much better it get tranny wise except with upgraded tcu software. But the R8 is long in the tooth still on its first gen and then next one should be amazing as you have alluded to.

Vic, are you interested in putting HRE Wheels on the R? I contacted this guy from HRE looking for some HRE non-forged wheels for the F-Type. They don't have any for the Jag right now. But he mentioned he'd be interested in giving me a discount on any HRE forged wheels in return for professionally photographed photos. No idea the discount (and by your car stable you probably don't need any discount ). But the requirement is the car needs to be lowered. Thought I'd pass it along in case you or anyone else with a lowered F-Type Coupe R is interested...

Thanks, Ill consider it. I have a very long long long term relationship with HRE dating back to 2003. I have had 16 sets of their wheels but recently have not put them on any of my cars (keeping stock or trying other brands). Are you talking to Jorge or Tito?

Jorge. I mentioned I only knew of one lowered F-Type R and he already knew it was you It's tempting, I'm not a huge fan of the Jag wheel lineup. But I can't imagine how much more I'll scrape in SF with an 1" drop. But if my car was already lowered, seems like a really good deal on nice wheels in return for some promo photos.
