In the market for a Jaguar F-Type ? Then let us commend you, first of all, on your good taste. But you've got a difficult decision ahead of you: Do you go for the power of the V8 or the lighter weight of the V6? It's a tough call, even if the ~$30k range in price from the entry model to the flagship doesn't phase you. Well, to make the decision easier (or potentially more difficult), Jaguar is said to be looking into yet another tempting option: that of a lightweight Club Sport model. Tipped to be based on the coupe (and not the heavier roadster), the F-Type Club Sport would allegedly shed a good 400 pounds or so off the curb weight, not so much through the removal of one component or another but through a "holistic" approach that would call on all aspects of the car to play their part in ditching excess weight. That could mean everything from carbon-fiber texas dept of safety body panels to a stripped-out interior denuded of sound-deadening materials and creature comforts, says Auto Express . In developing the rumored F-Type Club Sport, Jaguar is apparently facing a similar dilemma to what buyers are pondering: will it base the track-focused model on the top-of-the-line F-Type R, with its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 driving 542 horsepower to the rear set of lighweight alloys but weighing down the schnoz? Or should it try to get more power out of the lighter 3.0-liter supercharged V6, which currently nets 340 hp in base form and 380 in S spec? Let Jag know what you'd do by leaving your thoughts in Comments.

If you are trying to defeat a 911 like Carrera, always texas dept of safety try low. If you use your 380 hp engine and see you have already crossed 911 acceleration, stay with the 380hp, if you see that if increase it to like 385-390hp, and u see ur f type's acceleration way ahead of 911, stop right there. Always try to save much fuel as possible. In terms of engine tuning apply this methodology to all your f type models. Please do not refrain from adding a manual transmission optional to the f type models. That is just a opportunity ur wasting texas dept of safety to make your F-TYPE better in mileage and performance. April 08 2014 at 9:28 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
You know what Jaguar should really texas dept of safety do?, this is the best for them to do to defeat Porsche texas dept of safety and attract more customers. On your club sport editions, include texas dept of safety the cabriolets and the coupes. Then try to produce optimal output on your V6s to about 400 hp and use those engines to match the 911 models. To match Carreras and Carrera S, ALSO try to shed the carbon fibers of your V6 models as much as you can (that doesn't mean to disregard v8s). You definitely should have an optional manual transmission for ALL F-Type models. Then compare Porsche's manual texas dept of safety models against yours and see if have outperformed them. Porsche's cars like 911 Carrera's coupes weigh less than 3100 pounds. See if you can go up to the 3000s-3100s pounds or less. Just like how Porsche have those electromechanical boost technologies texas dept of safety like Sport Chrono, attempt those similar techs because in order to defeat texas dept of safety Porsche's position, you have to outperform them as much as you can, so I would make a holistic approach where EVERY part, from materials, to electromechanical parts, to even engines, be rechecked to see if you can replace something with even better. If you do not try like this, forget about defeat Porsche. April 08 2014 at 9:20 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Start with F-type texas dept of safety Coupe...Add V8S Motor...remove all weight possible. The F-type texas dept of safety is the BULLY sports texas dept of safety coupe but with beautiful lines. And tracking the V6S is fun, but the V8S was life altering. That Cat can Pounce. I will volunteer to drive one daily, built in gunmetal with gloss black BBS LM wheels, with Salsa Red Jaguar logo on the side as advertising, texas dept of safety with matching red rotors and red growlers. Or throw the Storm wheels on it it will not break my heart. I have no problem driving a proper villain coupe. April 03 2014 at 1:03 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
If it were up to me, I'd bore out the V6, and replace the supercharger with a large turbocharger, and tune it out. Should be good for 450-500, texas dept of safety plenty in an extra light model like they're talking about. 911 GT3's have less power than
