Haha...sorry about that, Rich! I've resisted FB so far, but a track buddy that sometimes races with him and Ralph passes on details of interest. Now if I just knew somebody close to Chris Harris!

He just put that on Face Book. I don't know if he's doing a review on it but will ask and get back to you.

Great review but I'm sorry, the wing on the back looks goofy. IMHO, It has an aftermarket look that ruins the lines of the car.

 

He was driving as part of a review that will be coming out. It'll be a comparison with an Aston, Porsche and Audi.

The guy who designed the GT did say it was "slightly bonkers"

 

I agree the wing totally ruins the look and doesn't fix well with the car.

 

The stanchions don't look right because they're not mounted solely on the horizontal deck. By bracketing the existing spoiler they appear to be an afterthought, a piece from another car that's been borrowed. All-out race cars can get away with function over form, but jeez, not on a gorgeous Jaguar!

This is how it should be done:



The normal Viper coupe looks right, and the mega-wing ACR looks right, too.

Motortrend reviews the XKRS-GT and was pleasantly surprised how nice the drive was. Carlos saying,"Finally a really good handling Jaguar". Also stating that a Jaguar that can finally put the power to the ground unlike other Jags which has crazy oversteer.

Randy Pobst tests the XKRS-GT at Willow Springs and it had a faster lap time than the Viper TA by more than a second and also C6 ZR1. But at $170K+...

 

BTW..it looks like Steve, one of the chief test driver for Autocar, also has a long term XKRS Vert at his disposal. In frame 15 he mentions it.
