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.
That will be a great combo I assume you plan to keep it a very long time. Might want to consider exhaust upgrades too.

My wife still misses the 99 XJR we bought in 2004
