Default New F-Type Owners

Hello everyone! New to me F-Type V6 Base with some nice options. Got it under warranty. 33,000 miles! Clean lease return, I heard the previous owner actually frequented the forums!

Welcome to the forum.

Make sure you are aware that tuning voids any drive-train warranty and that CPO inspection may not not detect the presence of tune if they didn't specifically look for it. Mentioning this, because I think I recognize the car.

As far as I can tell, it is NOT tuned. It doesn't feel tuned, anyway. Seems to have the classic V6 base "drop off" after 5,500 RPM.

Not CPO, I got an extensive extended powertrain warranty.

Any clues to the previous owner?

With sufficient practice I'm sure you can become completely evil! LOL
Congratulations on your new Jaguar!

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/

Powerhouse-
I looked at a few different reviews on these, and some other tires, and compiled the reviews in the following thread:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...atings-210223/
I can't say I have any issues with the Pirellis, but I am putting on new tires when I receive my new wheels, so I wanted the best.
