Jaguar , we have landed
Here it is and I guess I have a name for it. The speedo read 6666 when we took it off of the truck. So either "red devil" or "Lucifer" But I can tell it's gonna get me in trouble. My bride of 45 years took it for a ride and she doesn't know how it does 70 in a 30. LOL

I'm still sorting through the options but as of now it's got big brakes (Red) with 20" wheels. Also came with metal peddle kit. I'm trying to contact the previous owner to see if he has the window sticker. The price was on the title and it came in at $111K. I also noticed that when I put it up on my lift it has the X pipe in the center of the exhaust and it sounds great . I don't know if this is the standard exhaust or the active. It does have the motors on the outside pipes. Got the phone hooked up but having trouble with the garage door opener. Need to read through the manual. I was a little disappointed with the clean up and to compound it the car was transported on an open carrier during the last day and a half of rain here so I had to wash it. OK tomorrow is insurance photo's and then NYS inspection. I just put it to bed.

You have the performance exhaust option which is the same as my exhaust and the XKR-S. I had a 2011 XKR 175 before my current 2013 and I can honestly tell you the performance exhaust is bliss--much better sounding than the standard exhaust. Wow, and you have the convertible. To open up the exhaust valves all you need to do is push the dynamic mode button on and the sound will be to die for. I've heard the car also needs to be driven in "S" mode with the paddle shifters engaged for the exhaust valves to remain open all the time. Otherwise, the valves operate (open/close) depending on engine rpms. Based on my experience my car sounds distinctively different with the dynamic mode on only. Have fun experimenting. Go to topix.com to get your build.
If you go to your dealer they can print you a copy of the window sticker. I had one printed for my car when I bought it last July.
