Default Into my new cat from a Hellcat

Hello, Psyched to join this community. Have dreamed of owning a Jaguar F Type since the Villainy ads. Two weeks ago it became a reality, 2018 Ultra Blue F Type R. Just back from paint correction, coating, and PPF. Already added red shifter paddles and red belts, 300 miles on her and in love already.

Anyone here from the world of Mopar, specifically Hellcat forums? Just starting to read threads but thought I saw at least one familiar name.

Pics to come. Weather is nice out there after a loooooong winter so...must drive! Cheers!

Welcome. While the Hellcat is a beast by nature, the Jag has the heart of the beast, with a little more sophistication. Enjoy. Actually sounds like you already are. Have Fun. But remember it's still a "Cat" and will bite if mistreated!

Welcome to the forum Hayabusa,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

We ask for a Location because Jaguar specifications vary across World markets and it helps accurate and relevant posts. Whilst "On The Lunatic Fringe" may appear absolutely hilarious, a City and State is more efficacious.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f-type-x152-72/ to the F-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Northeast Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-northeast-35/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thank you for the welcome!
89 Jacobra; Indeed a classy feline! Had a couple of Hellcats, an R8, Vipers, Vettes, a GT500 and a 911 GTS as the 'enjoy life' cars in the past. The F is different in so many ways. Would have enjoyed keeping a brash American Muscle ride but one guilty pleasure car at a time in my house. I absolutely love the F Type with the supreme beauty complimenting the performance.

With a name like that it would be rude not to say welcome !
A great choice with the F type.

I tried 'Busa' and was denied. I figured you'd surface! My Busa was my first fast bike. Cheers!

I went to the dealership to test drive a couple of Jaguar and Land Rover SUVs. They had a Range Rover Sport SVR in blue that was particularly attractive and a lightly used 2017 Sport Dynamic in white with red interior and less than 6000 miles. I needed a daily driver as the Hellcat is not a cold or wet weather car. Was daily driving a Raptor and, after 8 months, decided to cash out.

Here's a pic of what my wife saw when she called over to me and said "hon, do you like this?". I replied "well, yes, but that's not what we came to look at." The rest is a longer story...let's just say it is home where it belongs.
