Going full beast mode with 2013 XKR-S
Ok, not really. Getting mods done that are out there (flash, air filter, supercharger pulley) and an opting time remove airflow restriction by removing rear muffler. Also adding custom made dive planes and 2” splitter. Rear wing will remain the factory one. Going to use it on track and on streets to promote our business. Long story about the car, will explain that later. My business partners little sister passed away before we had chance to help her. He favorite song was Imagine by John Lennon, the number plate is actually her birthday. This is the before (wrecked it), and design contest winner of what it will look like this week. Will share pics when we do the “reveal”. Will also strap it down for accurate dyno numbers for those who are interested Watch this video about the car:

That is great info! But I think they already fabbed exhaust pipes and removed muffler. Worst case scenario is I put it back on. Thanks for reply

There's a xkr in nz with nothing more then small pulley upgrade, x pipe and tune putting down 11.5 and 125mph .
Considering op already has the dynamic exhaust with the small pulley upgrade and tune he'd pick up at least 60-70hp.
In regards to f-type I've seen the Times on a convertible variety come down from 11.7 to 11.2 , with the right tune and a few small upgrades there is still a huge chunk of performance to be gained on the 5l

This is going to be one epic build can't wait to see the transformation of beast to Super Beast !!
JagRag is on the right track with the weight watchers diet !!
Thanks to Jahumner he's paved the way on his xkr with the following (forgive me if I've left anything out)
-BC coilovers
-Lightweight alloys
-Back seat strip
-2 piece front rotors
Think all up he's down 150lbs now
Depending how drastic you want to go Cobra seats / braum seats come in at roughly 30lbs which is exactly half the weight of our seats . So with the above weight reductions and new seats you'd be in the ballpark of being 200lb lighter ...what a driving experience that would be !

SM, that truly is an amazing looking vehicle, the new livery isn't (IMO) at a brash and is rsther tasteful. If someone had told me they were fitting white walls to their XK I'd have poo poo'd the idea...but they look awesome!!!
Although mine's nothing in comparison but I've a smaller upper, larger lower pulley, H pipe and no rear box and mine's actually down on power at 493! I does sound a lot louder though
It is really crying out for a tune and perhaps something I'll do after my tranny fluid change and solid SC nose coupler is done
I did have wortec suncut rotors/disc fitted that shaved off 45lbs of unsprung weight, can I ask if yours are stock...am.thinking not?
Great work and lovely heartfelt vid.

I do plan on strapping it down to a dyno for further tuning, and will share the results as well. I did remove the headliner and put a lightweight suede piece in there instead. Not sure how much weight that saved.
appreciate the input on mods you have done too. Thank you again

However, that metallic/chrome Green is stunning, that is what first caught my eye. I think the video color scheme was very unique and looks amazing!!!

JH, if I may ask a personal question, your own body weight? I sit at 70kg l, (154lbs) so 1 5kg off Lewis Hamilton's driving weight ( i am sadly not as talented). But the same that I weighed 35yrs ago*
Ask as in the Miata scene (already a lightweight sportscar) there were quite a few lard@rses intent on stripping out weight in their modified cars, when (to me at least) the easiest solution was for them to go on a personal crash (see what I did there?) diet!
Apologies if this came across as rude, but it does continually make me chuckle when peeps are debating car weight loss
* I have more of an incentive than most as if I go above 165lbs I have to use walking aids..which is a sobering thought.
