  • From coast to coast and from road to track I have been fully versed in Jaguar’s F-TYPE and it’s become one of my favorite sports cars. It has everything you want from a fast Jag. And for a limited time there’s this new variant called the 400 Sport with its own unique flair.
    MSRP as-tested: $93,525

    Jaguar can't put a foot wrong lately. Their entire line up is more exciting than any of the equivalent German boxes.

    I know at some point Jaguar will redesign this and I'm a bit nervous about it because the exterior design is timeless. Hopefully Jag will redesign it the way Porsche does it 911.

      thered a lot you can do with the front though. more slender headlights, narrower grill for example. or they can do some perorations as well like their new super sedan

    Racechip has great info on their website. The problem with the V6 is it is roughly the same weight as the V8 as it uses the same size block, and V6's underperformed their HP and Torque claims, while V8's over-delivered by 45 HP.

      They use an identical size block, which is a horrendous waste of weight. Obviously, they are negligibly lighter. Its a putrid design compared to to V8.

      The LC500 really doesn't compete with the likes of the F type. They are both coupes, no ones arguing there. However, that doesn't always mean sports car. Watch Motor Trend's review the LC500.

    You seam to be tight, sitting there with your right knee touching the lower dashboard. This car is for people 6'-3" and shorter. Not too many NBA players will be purchasing this. When will car manufacturers realize that women today are taller than men were in 1950. Cars today have less leg room that my grandfather's chevies of the 1950's. Why?
