Do you have any marriageable daughters? Haha

Car sounds awesome, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

No kids...that's how I can afford the toys,lol!

does this mean your leaving us now John..?

Well I've sold off 3/4 of the musclecars, just have the '69 to unload and then I'm out of that scene...but no,lol!

I still have the '28 roadster currently getting painted gloss black and the Jag as my play toys with the funny car as my main interest so not out of the hobby entirely, just shifting gears. :cheers:

Wow....sweet!! I saw one of these close up last week at Wal-Mart in black on black and it was one sick ride. What model did you get? Post up pics when you get it please. :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

I just got the standard F-Type with the 340hp supercharged 3.0L V6 ($65k) and the standard 8-speed automatic with paddle shifters, that's about all I need.

The car has an exact 50-50 weight distribution whereas the 5.0L 550hp V8 ($99k) adds about 200lbs to the nose of the car. There's also the 380hp 3.0L V6 S-model ($77k) with a slightly larger blower and more features.

For this money I could have gotten a C7 with a boatload more power and features (my model doesn't even come with powered seats) but the design is kind of edgy for my tastes whereas the Jaguar has much more curved, sexy alloy panels which looks much more pleasing to the eye...but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Awe, C7 or Jag F-Type...either way you're gonna look like a big ol pimp rolling down the road. :drive:

My neighbor just got a white one. Probably the best sounding "new" car I have heard in a long time. Makes the neighbor's ZR-1 on the other side of me sound like a sewing machine. Congrats.

[tones2SS]

Congrats!!
Pics when you get it. They are some sweet looking machines.

They really nailed the whole exhaust note...did your neighbor get the R model?

The dealership placed the order today and sent me a confirmation build sheet...looks exactly what I ordered...so we're good to go. Now we just wait for the factory to pull the order, assign it a VIN number and build the car.

Stopping at the dealer next Friday on the way back from SF to meet both the sales lady and sales manager and to hopefully finally test drive one at that point...:drive:

This is very close to what my car will look like except for different wheels and no glass roof:

This sick looking.
I'm digging it.

[buickfunnycar.com]

Thanks man...here's the 19" wheels I ordered with the car, look like a BBS design:

Should look screaming because the ones in the picture with the exposed hardware don't do it for me.

I saw their TV ad for the car last week for the first time..........it's been a while since I saw a new car ad on TV that made me pause and think WOW that is really great styling!

Congrats! :thumbsup:

When I bought my land rover last year I fell in love with the Jags. My wife even said when did Jaguars start making cars like this ?
