F-Type R AWD.

I was prepared to bitch about the added weight, but you can chew corners up.

The new 2016 RS7 will have a normal and a plus version...the plus version will have 605hp vs. 565hp for non-plus and a base MSRP of $129,900 vs. $108,900...

Bc sometimes 565hp is just not sufficient

I was loving this car after the test drive but then saw the Nissan GT-R eat its arse up in the quarter.

5.7 or 6.4? Both are fun.

Went to Texas to test a 1960 Chrysler 300 F (black hardtop). For a car with some weight, it will get up and go. Photo of engine layout (on a different one):

Man, I'm just not a fan of the Nissan's looks.

I also would like to try the Nissan on a track to see how manageable that power is.

I'm not either but I really like the GTR.

Well I'm not a fan of Nissans in general to be clear.

GTRs are the best sports car available from the major car makers.

I would love to test drive one (if that's possible).

Scat packs have the 6.4. Basically are SRT's without the suspension upgrades

The 5.7 is fun but slow. I have a 5.7 challenger rt. Faster than most cars, slow in the circles I run in Mexico racing league FTW

Also, can't believe no one has said the Hellcat

The z06 and the F-Type R are better options, IMO. The Jag makes 550Hp and the Z makes 650.


Loaded out Z with a 100K warranty for about $115K, is the best deal going, if you're gonna track the car.

I'm just not a fan of the 6..,

When you get on the track, that extra hp can make a difference.

FWIW, I take mine to the track from time to time.
