WIFE she say NO

So I love the Jag F type, but my wife says no, you will kill yourself.

What do you mean I say, she say

it's too fast, it corners too fast, it's mid range acceleration is incredible,
it's exhaust is too loud and raucous , it's like a mad thing !!

OK I said but what don't you like

a feisty jag is like a race kia - just doesnt go together. regardless of all the tradition, hand made bits, heritage, new clothes reinvented by marketing, etc.. it is still a piece of ****

save and get the mp4-12c thingie.

Seriously, your SL63 will kill it in just about every sense except sound but somehow the Jag is too fast?

In a drag race sure the 63 would beat the Jag. But when you are on twisty
roads the 8 speed box, throttle response, brakes and road holding the Jag
would win. If you read reviews they often comment on how quick it does
things, nothing like the old XKR. It certainly gets your pulse going, the
SL is somewhat reserved in comparison, but more comfortable and a feeling
of solidity.
