XFR-S - No Longer a Pipe Dream
#21
I think we can all agree that the rear spoiler is fugly, so I won't add anything to that discussion. But you know how when you were young and got a new toy, and then a couple months later the next door neighbor kid gets the same toy but it's newer and shinier and just a little bit better and it makes you miserable? That's how I feel about my XFR now. I want to go in my garage and kick it. I've only had my XFR for about 7 months and for those 7 months no matter who you were, you couldn't make me believe that I wasn't king of the road. I would laugh at the AMG's and M's all over town. But now, my heart hurts cuz I feel like I have to have the XFR-S or I might as well be driving a Camry (no offense to Camry owners, they are solid family sedans). Am I greedy....yup, do I make no sense.....yup. Am I a little bit selfish.....yup. But a man has needs, and if the hp line for a super sports sedan has moved from 500 to 550 horsepower than so be it. Time to redo my budget to figure out how to get this bad boy in my garage (just not in that gaudy blue). Anybody interested in a pampered black XFR? Wish me luck in getting my upgrade!!

But, it helps me sleep to know that there will only be 100 of the XFRS's brought into the U.S., they won't be available until Summer, they'll cost over $100K, and all the service won't be included, like it is on mine. Even so, I'd still been a tad depressed about the whole thing, but we just bought my wife a new Range Rover Sport Supercharged last week, so that's taken some of my recent attention.
And, because I still REALLY do love my current rig, I'm even doing some more mods right now (because I get bored very easily); I'm about to flush mount some Philips DRL8's into my lower intake areas (I'll probably cut them into the grilles), and I'm also installing a front camera with a visor-mounted monitor, so I don't scratch up my carbon fiber front splitters on curbs.
I'll try to put together a list of all the mods I've done, including some pictures, soon (my signature pic is from a LONG time ago). It'll give all of the Jag traditionalists something to flame about for months. Haha!
