ok, so ante up the money (about $1700 plus loss of engine warranty) and let VMax do a tune for you.. We know with an upper pulley and tune alone that VMax can get close to 430 hp from the 3.0L. That puts the 5.0L within easy reach of 715hp. A lower pulley, properly designed long tube headers and a less restrictive converter can only take that number higher. Are you in?

This is what I would have paid $160k+ for:
1. 625-650 hp V8 5.0L Coupe
2. SVR front facia with real brake cooling vents.
3. 20" carbon fiber wheels 9.5x20" front, 11.0x20 rear.
4. Michelin PSC2 265/35 front, 305/30 rear
5. Carbon fiber roof.
6. 7 speed (2 O.D. gears) manual transmission (no clutch delay valve)
7. carbon/ceramic brakes
8. no A/C
9. RWD only
10. Lightweight Recaro buckets (manual 3 way adjustment).
11. Convertible 6pt. to 3pt. seat belts.
12. Minimum legally required number of airbags.
15. No infotainment system.
16. Touchscreen only for system readout and setup.
17. Integrated removable rollcage.
18. Suspension 1.5" less than R. (matching dampening and anti-sway bars)
19. Computer modulated spoiler deployment (variable extension based on speed)
20. Torsen style mechanical LSD
21. TVB
22. Manual hatch.
23. fixed vents
24. Manually adjusted mirrors.
25. True short shifter (7cm or less)
26. 2015 style side skirts (flat black)
27. Badged V8U
Probably cheaper to build than an R, but this would be my idea of a super car.

That would also help the company meet its ever-tightening CAFE requirements, while improving overall performance. The future alternative will be ever smaller engines with reduced output.

So, not being someone that tracks my car a lot, the above couple of posts have left me with a couple questions.
For $160k+, if you really want a hardcore track monster, why not do a focused 911 build? I think it's unarguably the better track car. Where the F-Type excels IMO is as a very powerful street cruiser.
Not saying you are wrong in your opinion, just that I want to understand it better.

I apologize if this has been seen on this thread:

200mph SVR leaks online.... I am sure I am way late to the party

Mostly because the 911 is butt ugly (of course, IMO), and is a tired design from the mid-'60s. After 50 years, I have gotten tired of looking at them.

Yep, but I'd venture to guess under $100K in a year or so because I don't see a market for it. It just doesn't deliver really anything more than an aggressive look, and as a late Governor of Texas said in reference to a wannabe cowboy . . . "all hat and no gun."
