My car has lost so much in value the year that i've owned it. Trust me i'm having no fun. The only bit of advice i can give you is, to me at the moment it seems like a big premium to pay to jump over a SC RRS (40K) and other than the bigger engine and exhaust there isn't much of a difference. Hence why I dont own one....yet.Oh man!! I'd much rather be in your shoes right now! They have a great lease deal on the F-Type R at the moment. It's like $899/mo.
It is a BIG bump up in price. Personally I went with the ATB and got the tune and pulley done. Right there you will have the same exact monster engine for a few grand and in my opinion a more comfortable car to drive. I didn't feel the need for the additional exhaust sound over what the ATB provides but with a few modifications you can get there if you need it.Dealer has a 2018 arriving soon with my exact desired specs. I can't get myself to pull the trigger at $130K given that my 2014 SC Dynamic still puts a smile on my face.
SVR owners, give me the push I need!!
You are 100% correct here. I test drove the SVR in December and within seconds I knew I was going to order one. It does feel like a different animal and the sound isn't just a loud obnoxious noise like you get from aftermarket exhausts. We've all seen the videos online but from the inside, while driving, it sounds incredible. Even when setting the active exhaust in quiet mode it has a nice deep frequency to it. For me, this could be my last combustion engine car before going electric so I'm going out in style. I already said goodbye to the manual transmission a few years ago and monster V8's are probably another genre that will end. And the power... it's just waiting for you to push it instead of you pushing the gas and waiting for it to respond.I bought my autobiography in 2015, before they announced the SVR. I thought I was fine until I test drove an SVR. it’s truly a different feel despite having so many similarities.
2018 seemed like enough of an upgrade to bite the bullet. They won’t make cars like these forever.
As far as I understand, the SVR adds better engine cooling with front bumper air intakes, and better brake cooling with some airflow redirection. I wonder why LR felt the engine cooling enhancements were needed.SC Dynamic is just fine. Ask the boys at Velocity to bump it up for you past SVR HP. Same engine, same internals, just need a different tune.
probably because of the ~10% increase in performance.I wonder why LR felt the engine cooling enhancements were needed.
