CAR WARS! V8 vs flat-six: Jaguar F-Type R vs. Porsche 911. Is this A Fair Contest? Find Out Who WINS!

Is it entirely fair, then, you may wonder, to pitch the ‘new’, range-topping R version of this car into a head-to-head contest with the only-a-year-old 992-generation Porsche 911? Knowing what we already do about the latter.

Although it is a brick. A demo or CPO Acura NSX will be the most livable and reliable of the options presented. Although local service has always been an issue when it comes to getting an exotic car our town must have hit a metric as we now have a new 50,000 sqft Porsche Dealership opening in November. I bet they are hoping this COVID-19 issue is done by then.

Jags, especially older ones, are beautiful to look at. They even sometimes function as a working automobile.

We've done some XJ6 and XJS conversions to LS7 V8s with a better transmission.

Jaguar should be using Ford engines, transmissions and wiring harnesses these days.
