Once you drive the AWD's, you'll realize it was an absolutely necessary upgrade for the R brand.
You'll feel this in the traction when you think you start slipping going 95 around that tight corner, but the AWD just holds and holds like crazy!

Anyone else want to chime in with final price on your new 2016 Coupe's bought recently?
I'm looking at this build, and starting a new thread for all those interested. As this thing is going in my garage ASAP, and I'm a deal-hunter, I hope I can provide people of this forum with some buying advice once all is said and done...
Jaguar F-Type R (AWD) 2016 - New
Non-negotiable features:
-Black exterior - Ebony Black, or preferably, Ultimate Black
-Vision Pack

I really wish there was 1/100th of the posting volume going on here that they have at the bimmerpost/M forums...
It's been tough trying to price out/acquire the F-Type R.
I've recently been converted from buying a new M4 with competition pack at invoice price, to a lightly used or new AWD F Type R.
Choice was incredibly simple after driving each car for about 3hrs total. Not even comparable.
Problem is, when it comes to pricing - and I'm in FL - so you know all the dealerships are price gougers, I'm at a loss.
F Type R friends - please hook us up with your go to up north dealers that want to sell these cars to the internet savvy individual's who do not play the rip-off game.

$110k MSRP, got for $96k including the extra year of warranty.
Last 4 cars were BMWs, most recently M5. I love my new car, but the sales experience was second to none. I have received good followup from the dealership, gifts, etc- never got that from BMW, MB, or Ford.

I just purchased my 2016 F-type R from Jaguar of Orlando. What an amazing experience. Both my sales guy as well as the manager were outstanding.

The CC brakes will only offer an advantage in a severe track situation. As a daily driver, the humongous maintenance c0sts will prove a nuisance. That said, if they had been available with the MT, I would have opted for them just for the unsprung weight savings. That, however, can be accomplished far less expensively with CF wheels.

Is this including Tax/dealership fees?
I'll definitely add this to my list of dealerships to approach.

What would you define as a severe track situation?
This car will be my daily (not far commute everyday, luckily - 15-20mins max), as well as my new hobbyist weekend track car...
I imagine there will be cruises upon cruises through FL and beyond once I get the thing, but nonetheless, it will be both my daily and tracker.
Will I live to blow out my 30th birthday candles if I take to the track with the regular R breaks?
How long will the regular R breaks typically give you at the track before running into problems?
From what I'm seeing listed around the country, it doesn't seem like there are many left with the ceramics anyways... Would maybe have to consider the 2017.

The power of the F-Type R is still relatively unknown and out of the interest range of most people who would be looking for a car with an MSRP upwards of $100k anyways.
Most people will see the F-Type S's drive around, and think "cool story bro", and move on and get something else...
I for one love the fact that I'll be driving around in a stealth F Type-R Porsche killer that no one knows about very soon.
...Unless you're talking 911 Turbo/Turbo S or GT3 of course at a price point of about $100k more.
My neighbor is going to laugh me out of the garage when I tell him that the F Type R keeps up with his Ferrari 458 in the 0-60 and quarter mile until I show him the facts... Greatly look forward to tracking/swapping with him.

Fading does not occur suddenly. It progressively gets worse, giving you plenty of time to adjust your corner approach speeds to stay safe.

In my mind, severe track use is a 20+ lap road race. The CC brakes will begin to fade less quickly than the super performance brakes. if you are just heading out to the track to do a series of half dozen or so hot laps, you'll have plenty of brakes with what comes standard on the car.

Thanks for the input man. I'll be a first timer out there on the track, so it should be a fun learning experience to say the least.
Although, after much advice from numerous forum members I think I'll pass on the CC's unless the deal is too hot not to snap up. Or, if I'm advised otherwise by an experienced tracker that knows how important this major newfound interest of mine is.
I'm hoping to make it to the track quite a bit... Dare I say twice a week once I get the vehicle, for ~2 hrs at a time... It's highly likely that I'll eventually get bored and not go nearly as much, but I definitely want to experience the newfound excitement.
I consider myself an extremely proficient and accurate driver, but either way, I know I'm going to have a shitload of learning to do once I actually hit the track. Perhaps so much, that that fact alone might indeed be enough of a deterrent from getting the CC's due to overall lack of skill... Thoughts?

So if I want to spend 5+hrs out there in legit multi-lap road race, get the CC's + 5 new sets of replacement tires?
