Default New Member, 2016 R Coupe!!

Hi all!!



I haven't formally posted yet!! I am a new member here and just bought my 2016 F-Type R!! I love the car, i am coming from a 2014 E63 AMG, which was also an amazing car!

I love the red, Italian racing red i believe?? the ceramics are amazing, which i believe this was one of the only 2016's i could find on the market with them?? The exhaust note coming from an already brutal sounding V8 AMG is nuts!!! I dont know how people can stand anything louder on these

I will be looking to probably chip/pulley the car at some point, as well as lower a bit! Had the car clear wrapped then ceramic pro over it!! If any of you are in the Pittsburgh or surrounding area I'll refer to my guy at North Pitt Auto Spa!!! He does some insane work!! here are some pictures!! Enjoy!

Welcome and congratulations! Beautiful color and wrap. Lots of info here on tune-pulley upgrades. A comparison between the Jag and your former E63 would be great if you're up for it.

Good to have Pittsburgh in the house. Congrats. The Pennsylvania contingent tries to get together when possible....shhh don't tell anyone but we even let Maryland come along and occasionally New Jersey. You'll love every minute of your new joy/toy.

??? Why is this?
As in, slap in a chip rather than a well thought out programmed tune?

It's like when people call wheels "rims". Car enthusiasts just don't do it lol.

When the mood strikes someone usually starts a thread on it......or we hijack an existing thread! It's somewhat random.
