Gonna link up with Rob tomorrow and take the 911 for a spin. After reading Vic's post I think he nailed it on the head. I want something new but an M6 will probably not be different enough. Gonna keep looking around, I'm in no rush.

Sweet dude. Yeah I agree with Vic too, mostly. I think for street driving, the performance between the M6 and M5 are pretty close, but for the track, the M6 wins no contest. Have fun in the 991 and tell Rob I said hi.

Drive the C2S like its an E60 M5 or E63 M6- with the revs upward in the 4k-5k range (use sport plus). Abuse her like no other LOL.

Surprised at all the love for the new jag around here. Im just not a fan of that car yet. Maybe I just haven't been exposed to it enough yet.

I also added a couple of notes to my original post on the F-Type Coupe R. I think overall, the car is an absolute win for Jaguar, at least on paper. It probably drives fantastic in real life too, and honestly there is nothing about this car that I don't like enough to not buy it. It is a bit on the heavy side, ~3,950lbs, but then again so is the F13 M6, but I'm sure the linear torque delivery of 502lbs/ft, will make the R feel like a rocket ship.

Or Marko, you could just wait a year for this monster.
I have a feeling Vic will be buying one for sure. http://www.caranddriver.com/news/201...py-photos-news http://www.gtspirit.com/2014/06/13/5...rcedes-amg-gt/

The only disappointment for me was the automatic transmission. It's a good transmission, but felt a little sluggish especially on downshifts when compared to the DCT and PDK. Didn't pull the trigger because of trade offer on my M5 and the fact that Jaguar will release a 6-speed manual for the F-type R coupe next year. |

Vic, I'll be very interested in your thoughts re: the F Type as it is one of the two cars on my mind to replace the M5 at the end of the year; (the other being the Z07 version of the new Z06 which I'm second in line for at a local dealership that gets a pretty good allocation). I just returned from the UK after three weeks and saw a new F Type Coupe in White with the black roof. It looked so incredible I almost drove the rental into a hedge. The car is just staggeringly gorgeous, and I've yet to read any review that didn't describe it as awesome; especially in V8 guise. Bish |

The Jag looks better, has better fit and finish and is more luxurious.
