In preparation I’ve upgraded the suspension, made some minor exterior cosmetic changes and refreshed the interior (in progress now).

Coming from a Jaguar XKR (heavy touring GT) I’m looking forward to the hp/torque bump in a much more driver focused car. I’ll still miss that supercharger whine, but the flat six song with the muscle to back it up in a tuned chassis lightweight will make the Jag a distant, yet fond, memory.
I always prefered the XK8 engine noise but the supercharger sure makes it funner!

My wife loved blowing away the youngster rice rockets, they never knew what hit 'em!
