For your reading pleasure. I can almost hear the brogue accent.

I'm almost finished selecting all of the features on the car and it will be a real Franken-monster of 2015-2018 F-type parts and panels looking more like a '15R with a '16 P7 frontend and '18 400 interior. I'm guessing the resulting cost will be quite invigorating.

And of course the $64,000 question, will you be getting a manual V8?

I am gullible, and not the smartest car dude, but either this is a joke, or they figured out how to not blow up the clutch with the power of that V8 engine??

The key design parameters are MT and light weight:
I am specifying 400 seats, RWD, SVR exhaust, CC brakes to that end.
I will also ask for a lowered suspension and full CF wheels, but I'm guessing that won't be in the cards since that would require additional development on their part.
You do realize, of course, this is probably more of a wet dream than reality?

If Chevy can figure it out in the Z06 and ZR1, Jaguar should be able to offer a manual in the SVR. However, I have the paddles and I must say the shifts are fantastic. The only aspect I do not like is that when I drive it in manual mode and floor it, it will automatically lower the gear say from 4th to 2nd and force me to upshift.

I don't think it matters if you are in Dynamic tbh. I know it holds gears as much as physically possible when in Manual mode (and no kickdown).
