the tvr was the tuscan s - scarey lairly rear wheel drive thing (shudders uncontrollably again) just didn't like it wierd driving position nice noise great performance then there was the reliability issues??

cerbera - 4.5 model looked for a 4 seater version of the tuscan better seating position very low down, great noise great performance, reliability??

and let's face it none of them are a 911

then drove the 911 and they both just faded into a distant memory

the way this car pulls from 25mph in 6th is amazing, all the low down torque of an N/A engine with the mid range thump of a turbo and the top end of a supercar

What did you think of the XKR-R Jaguar then?

Just bought an XKR Jaguar Convertible myself and love it. Still got the Scooby STI 2.65 Litre too (Well at the moment it is a 0 Litre due to no engine )

sorry for laaaaaaaaaaate reply been on holiday.

the xkr was great good power deliver, the back was cramped (as if the porsche isnt). Nice sounding motor BUT just didn't deliver the WOW factor this one did.

The convertible is fantastic and as for shape closely resembles an aston.

You've made a great choice. The supercharger is great, just needs to be made larger ala "mad max"
