Default The weirdest thing about being a first-time XKR owner...

...is getting used to all the turning heads! I'd read about the "twisted neck" phenomenon on here, but when I took my new (to me) 2007 XKR out to the store this afternoon, I swear it happened four times in ten minutes. And those are just the ones I caught looking!

But I can understand the feeling...I keep going out to the garage to look at the new baby myself! (see pic...apologies for poor quality; it's the "first picture with the new baby at home" shot)

Looking forward to meeting more of you via the forum and continuing to learn more...as a first-time Jaguar owner, I have a *lot* to learn indeed!

Congrats you have a beautiful car but then again I may not have the most unbiased view on the matter. You'll be very happy with it, I bought my first Jag back in the 80"s and haven't been without one since. Currently 3 sitting in the garage including my XKR. Good luck.

My XK makes people who are looking the other way turn around to see what's coming. The noise they make is as appealing as the way they look

Sure... rub it in We have an XJ and a CTS-V Caddy but an XK(R) would round out the stable just right!! lol

I have a regular XK that I put the Portfolio kit and a Miltek quad exhaust on. It's significantly louder and deeper than the stock exhaust. The car is real nice and quite, then I push my foot to the floor and everyone looks to see what's coming.

It's great at lights too. Sounds like a vantage without that "snappy" sound.

I love it!

I'm actually putting R brakes on mine.
