I wonder how the active electronic diff works on the Jag vs the M's? The lockup may be different and the electronics may be more aggressive to help with the launches.

Too funny..our tastes are so very similar. I have secretly admired these dang things from afar.
Sound and styling are superb. Performance seems very good (observation without seat time). Overall, a very sexy car but maybe more suited for the wife. Cool, yet if I were going for another racy two-seater in this range I would likely just get the Z06/7.

It has ZF tranny, How'd you like it? It had the wide shift knob? I has been growing on me overall except the Shift Knob and the Rear. .. But definitely a nice competitor to M5 that stole some BMW purists' hearts!! AWD is key |

The ZF 8 speed is great- its really hard to tell that its a traditional tq converter tranny. The shifts are smooth and very fast and the TCU keeps the car in gear I need perfectly as I enter and exit turns. More to come on this car. Im enjoying it though.

So I went to the dealer you addressed in Newport. First impression was the moment I started the car... loud exhaust sound however I didn't like the tone since I love AMG sound (and this is just preference). Cabin is small but interior is gorgeous and has nice leather. I liked it's sporty style.I put the car in dynamic as the sportiest mode. I didn't have chance to push it too hard to hit 134 (you know that area specially on Sundays), but I could slide the car and it was fantastic. It was interesting for me how fast I got used to it (maybe because it's small car) to push it and still feel confident as the first time test drive. Car is well powerful and has great differential. I launched the car several times from standstill. It's pretty stable car and does not have that MUCH traction issue (Soooma always talk about it ) however I felt DSC was constantly working and now I understand why that guy in review said 500 calculations per second. Obviously ECU was constantly aiding but very fast. It's engaging the DSC and immediately disengaging and again and again. Let's say something like MDM with fast response time. Steering was good and heavy enough to feel the feedback. Suspension was stiff (and I liked it) and I felt like car was so lighter than 3950 lb!!! So everything was good except the tranny!! Man it's not fast enough. I mean it's a fast automatic transmission but much slower than DCT. If I want to compare it, I would say something slightly slower than ZF8 and if they claim 0-60 in 3.6 second, for sure it could be 3.4 if the tranny was DCT. Overall it's a great car for that price point but not my taste After leaving the dealership and getting back in M6, I had a good feeling to drive my toy in sequential sport+ mode
