Wind noisier or exhaust noisier?

Convertible top gaskets sometime fail but I see you have a coupe.

not wind noise, exhaust is fine can the supercharger be noisy even when driving normally, you can hear it when driving hard? it just seems to be not as quiet as it was it may be me. not being used to this type of car never had a supercharged jaguar before, but i love this one

Hi,
How long since the last Oil Change? I change mine every 5K miles and I can notice that it quiets it down a bit when changed. Good luck.
Brian

Kid Rock in a Jaguar? Makes me think of the line about a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. Guess it is an R, so anything goes...

Cool

Just cuzz we drive Jaguar doesn't mean all we listen to is Andy Wiiiams all day long.I thought that the R meant Rock n Roll,there is nothing like the right tune on when you press that pedal to the floor.Maybe we should start another thread in sights and sounds on what cds we have in that cartridge.

How many miles on the car? Also is the noise louder with the window down? From the front or the rear of the car?
