Jag F Type V6 S

Met a very nice red convertible today.

We had a bit of fun from a first gear roll (I was waiting for him to go) and I was surprised that it only pulled about 1/2 a car up to 120 or so. For a car with 8 speeds, more power and about the same weight I was a little surprised it wasn't faster.

It sounded great with all the popping and crackling and it shits all over my car for looks (it's actually very wide).

I found it surprising.

For the sort of $$$ this was ($170K or so) I can think of several options. Mind you if want a convertible your choices are limited!
