Default New owner of a Jaguar S-Type R!!!

Hello all

Bought this 2003 Jaguar s type r, car came with ported supercharger, 1.5lb pulley upgrade, tints, and custom painted wheels. I am not a fan of the wheels anymore so I am looking at replacing them with some stylish, lightweight 19 inch wheels and possibly lowering the car. Day one of purchase, I drove down to the shore with it and it was a blast! I am just having multiple problems with it only after a month of ownership and it is starting to bug me, but I love the car and the attention it gets. Car has 100k miles but it has a new engine with only 15k on it!

After the first month I have had a blast with it with all my car friends, although I am not thrilled that this thing is pretty slow compared to my friends with a new s4, fbo e55, modded 335i, new m3, and so on. Hopefully a twin screw will make me catch up with them if not beat them. I am not very happy with how slow it is in comparison but what can I do.

Having multiple problems with the car that I will post on other places within the forums soon. I currently am having a serious electrical problem but I thought I would introduce myself, feel free to ask questions.

Hope you all like it!
