So as everyone knows I traded the GTR in for the jag. I wanted to share my opinion on the cars on a short comparison
Exterior
Obviously the GTR has no chance f type is much prettier
Interior
Since I did get the performance pack I got all the speacil dynamic mode adjustments and reading which I loved about the GTR but besides that the GTR is far inferior and had the upgraded amber Interior. Sound Wise Pretty similar both systems are not that great but the jag was a 1200 dollar option while the GTR was standard bose. Hopefully with the upgraded amp this tilts in the favor of the jag.
Performance
This is the tough one. The GTR is a speed demon and nothing can compare. The straight line speed is brutal and unmatchable at this price range. Handling also the jag is no rival that is track built car and the awd drive system just shuts Jag down but there is a flaw in the GTR. With all the power it is tough to use all the power of the car in the real world which results in absolute no drama. The jag on the other hand ignites a feeling that GTR could never do for me atleast and that is the driving feeling of v8 RWD roadster, with an exhaust note that was sent straight down from heaven. The driving pleasure of always being able to kick the tail out and hear the engine rev to red line takes all the performance advantages the GTR has and trumps them. The car is an animal and I love it
Overall
If I could have both I would take them but if I had to choose honestly I would take the jag. The whole while driving experience is just better. I would sacrifice straight line speed and some handling anyway to have a better driver car. Also jag is no slouch 495 hp is no joke lol. I mean if the car was had the power of an SLK I wouldn't even consider it. Well there you have it GTR vs V8S F Type. Posted pics of both cars
How about your thoughts on the Alfa? I love the styling and seriously considered it as my next car after my Noble, but the F-Type coupe was just pure sex on wheels and my wife has turned into a horsepower snob after our XFR.
Nice play toy, but not a serious automobile with any class.
No the 4c is animal. I got th eurocompulsion tune with v2 Intake and centerline center exit exhaust which def opens the car up but it's a very raw car. No power steering light agile Rear wheel drive. Carbonfiber Tub just an unreal track toy. Also added a koshi matte carbon Lip and side fins
Very nice pictures, looks like you have a nice garage!
Interesting hearing your thoughts on the comparison.
I have been reading a little bit about the new MY17 GTR with some thought of it being my next purchase but i am really unsure. Just getting lured in by the ridiculas 0-60mph times haha

I'll tell you like this...do it and experience the GTR. I feel every real petrol head should once drive and own GTR. There is nothing that can match it performance number and handling. Eventually the performance will wear thin and then let the modding begin lol. After the nodding phase either you will keep it forever and cherish it or end up like me looking for more drama something that is a little less Perfect. Actually that is it the GTR is just too perfect performance wise I think that's what made me sell it.
the GTR is a track warrior, and thats what its designed to do. no fuss, no drama, just ***** to the wall performance, a precision surgeon. and you're right, its a fantastic car for the price and it cant be beaten (especially considering its a nissan!!)
but it all comes down to what kind of characteristics YOU want....at one point I had an XJ and a G37 coupe...they cant be compared, but the XJ did a great job being nice and comfortable (with some speed) but the G37 coupe had the noise that i loved
