Porsche 911 or Jaguar F-Type?

TN.Z · 07-28-2015, 02:47 PM

OP, are you looking at comparing these two for any specific reason? Are you set on buying one of these two. Honestly there are much better options unless you are stuck on those two. In that price range you can get an M3, M4, C63 AMG, Z06 Corvette, GT-R, and in all of those cases I would say you would end up with a better car than an F Type or a 911.

I dunno about BMW even coming close to the 911 or F type. That's like apples to orangea

Notice he is referring to Base models. That's a supercharged 3.0l v6 putting out 340 hp and 332 torque vs. and M4 using a turbo inline 6 putting out 425 hp and 405 ft/lbs of torque for just a little higher price point.

In all honesty I think the M4 and the F Type are direct competitors. The apples to oranges comparison is the F Type and a 911 which are very incomparable due to crazy different drivetrain layouts and a massive price difference.

I think neither cars truly compete...

The M4 is FR 2+2
COMPETITOR Lexus RC/Maserati GC

The F type is a 2 seat FR/FAWD
COMPETITOR. MB AMG GTS/AUDI R8

AND THE 911 is a 2+2 seat RR COMPETITOR NO 1. lol

When I compare. I compare performance and price range. Not just price range, cuz that's not truly being competitive.

You are still obviously comparing the F Type R, there is no way a base 340 hp base model F Type is competing with a MB GTS. In the top R trim sure you are spot on but comparing a base F Type to a MB GTS or an R8 is comparing a sports car to a super car.

A BASE F Type performs on the level of a Nismo Z and it weighs more. There is no way I would compare it to super cars.

The F Type R with that beastly 500 HP v8 is a different story all together, but the OP wasn't asking about the F Type R, just the base model.

In that price range. Alfa and lotus make better arguments

Now those are some choices op should look at! Lotus makes great cars, except I have never heard much on reliability. Alfa's unfortunately have not been doing to great in the reliability categories in JD Power polls last I saw.
