This messed with my dyno attempts as well.
I was asked if the XKR had a full manual mode, and I couldn't find a way to get it to act like one. It is nice to not have the auto up-shift like my 07XK, but I was kinda disappointed that I could not get a measurement from the low end.

65k is nothing for these engines, I've seen a XFR with over 145k driving without any issues. We buy them to enjoy them so why not!

Had some issues the first couple seasons with the high engine temperature warnings....put in new temp sensors, new thermostat, hoses, and bigger intercooler pump. Haven't had any problems yet, but hasn't been very hot out lately either
