good luck with the JAG, I drove an XJR once and it was disconnected for my taste but it did haul. The S type is quite smaller so it will handle better. I am not sure , do they have the same engine in the S type

Oh you guys have no idea. I get VERY attached to cars and get very sad when I say goodbye to them. To some people cars are just transportation, but to me they are members of the family and each one is unique. I will miss the Z terribly, but it was a smart financial decision and I still have 400hp with RWD, so all is not lost.

No doubt, aside from the power these cars are incredibly different. I will say it was nice driving to work and not hearing the tire roar and water noise.

Yah that Dollar/Euro conversion is going to snap your neck more than the supercharger will.

Nope but it is a Ford, lol. Actually a Lincoln LS, same platform, reworked by Jaguar. And it almost as fast as a 370Z!

I think the g8 was better looking and had more power than a sho, along with being rwd.

Sweet ride, man. Don't listen to the haters. An ALTIMA over an S-Type, really?

Smart decision for sure. Enjoy it! I'll see you in a BOSS in a year or two.

Again I am saving $6k a year in payments, so if something major happens I'm fine with it. I took that into consideration before buying.
