Probably the first time I've seen this kind of reaction from him about a car that just astonishes him without him expecting it to. Might need to go test drive one now.

He definitely loved its ass LOL

I'm not surprised if he says it weigh 1650 kg (3630 lb). I felt that... as I said in my review, car is so stable and good handling

Another great review of this car. I find his thoughts on the 991 variant being "weak' interesting because I thought in his reviews he really liked the new Porsche, although I'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to the GT3 or TT versions.

Must find a way to drive this car even if it is the Roadster version which of course are much easier to locate currently.

And he really likes the ZF tranny and I do as well in my RS7... oh Bish, there seems to be a few out there circa 66212:

Yet for some reason felt like a movie that I did enjoy every second of -

I think the beauty of this car is that it doesn't try to be the best at all things, or even one thing. What it is, is a car that does everything at 8/10ths, and does it incredibly well. You can drive it to dinner; drive it as a DD; take it across the 'continent'; take it to the 1/4 mile, and then take it to the road course. All the while sounding like a NASCAR whilst doing it!! lol

And... it has looks that beat that 8/10ths IMHO- oh and Im sure you read up but there are tunes and pulleys for this car that give it easy gains. H&R even has springs readily available so the BPU's are covered in my regard.

What car would you switch out for the F-type if you got it?
Do you wanna sell your SL63 yet? Is it a good lease deal I can take over?

Not sure yet what Im gonna do, if I do anything at all... Ill PM you if the SL comes available.

vdubpower · 06-24-2014, 11:33 PM

Had a chance to drive that same car a while ago too. ....I was quite impressed overall...
Its like a baby aston, especially on startup, that overly loud exhaust....

even inside it has the feel of an aston, like a baby vantage.....

had a pretty good test drive, back roads on la palma, then down to lakeview taking the 91 to weir canyon and back

car is damn fast obviously....and ill have to agree with vics other points in regards to chassis etc.

not impressed by the cheap plastic garbage console materiall

price isnt bad, if u are comparing to a porsche....

What up bro!!!! that's hilarious that you drove the same car

And I agree with you about the faux carbon around the gear shifter- they could have just put black plastic and it would have sufficed. Anyways that wont make or break my decision but thank for that start up vid; very similar location to where the salesman started up the car before we took it out for the run. The car is mean sounding.
