R Coupe holds it own

Jaguar's numbers are always on the conservative side. No video I've seen of the R coupe and there are quite a few show it running anything north of 3.8s 0-60 and quarter times are typically in the 11.6-11.8 range. In the video, it was only down 23hp to the Benz and 20hp to the 458 so the results are not far fetched.

Thanks for sharing. Good to know that Jaguar rates their motors conservatively.
Assuming similar RWD traction and reaction times, the relative length of victory appears right in the ballpark. If the 'R' coupe is 11.6-11.8 bone stock, as it appears to be, I would expect a stock 458 to beat by 3-5 lengths in the 1/4 by curb weight alone.
(Interesting that the R's "timeslips" appear identical. Not sure what's up with that.)
