Nice review by Petrol Ped,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzBFVcHOaDY

It would look geat on my drive but somehow I would be left wanting on that Sunday drive, reminds me a little of my Z4 which had the wrong engine.

Lovely to sit in though and polish :)

Perhaps you should ask Jaguar how much an F type with NO engine is! :lol:

I like it,looks good in red.The only trouble is you will always hanker after the bigger engine once you have driven it for a while. :thumbsup:

The red looks great and the way the bonnet opens reminds me of an E-Type :)

How many bhp is your 140i? Around 335 I thought? A mapped 20i could be as little as 30/40 bhp less :driving:

Hi Tim ...

Remember the 2.0 is 300bhp .. also 50Kg lighter then the 340 BHP v6, I have driven one and to be honest apart from the racket of my V6 there is not a lot between them in terms of daily performance

Have a test drive .. :) ..also many thanks for the post as I did not realise that petrol ped had uploaded a 2.0 review

I like that, 56k for the convertible and I'm sure DLV can sort the exhaust sound out :D Strong contender after the first pcp deals finish.

As much as I love how the F-Type looks, I couldn't bring myself to buy one with a 4 cylinder engine however potent it is. :(

It's way out of my budget, but I'd rather have a manual Mustang V8 and nearly £20K left over! Enough for a nice Z4M maybe ..... :lol:

Surely the most important aspect is how it goes, with sound being a secondary consideration?

On a hatch maybe, but for over £50K I'd want it to tick all the boxes!

When you put it like that it’s hard to argue against it :lol:

I think its around 340 or so although dyno tests on standard cars they can be pushing upto 370 or so :)

I would never be happy with mapping an engine Rob, theres always that niggling feeling it could end in tears :? I never understand why people stick a JB4 on their 135/140s :? why not just get a more powerful car built for the job, I think a new engine for the 140i is 12k :o Too risky for my wallet.
