    Awesome looking F Type! I love the color. My wife would refuse to even consider such a hue.

    My wife feels sports cars need stand out bright colors to look right. I tend to agree with her.

    The wife sees something like this in our future, which means it'll happen, eventually.
    Translation...you might as well sell the bike now. She wants it! Need I say more?

For a few $100 dollars you can get the SC pulley and ECU programing to better the S as far as HP. The S brakes and available brake option packages really are not needed for the street unless your doing something marginally stupid. The big plus for me is the SC V6 with the active noise cancelation on passes muster with the wife (which the V8 just cannot). So after a few more test drives I decided to take a trade offer (always nice to get a new car and money in the Bank) for a loaded 2016 F type premium for my 2015 F Type R. So now we have the great pumpkin(Already has the SC and ECU Mods). So In a way I kind of listened to Raza. Partly. I never though I would say that.
    Inception!

    Still the manual for me, though. Congratulations!
