Jaguar has had a free test drive / autocross setup at Sears Pt during historic races... I went and had 2 runs on 2 different occasions, one cab and one coupe. I'm embarassed to say I forgot the exact model but it was a supercharged 6, not the R.. The cabin was very nice, the sound was the best part, glorious 9wondering if that might get old).... Handling was on par with modern cars, but it felt heavier and twitchy to me - could be I'm used to rear engine stability of the 911 and it's hard to break traction with a 911...
Overall I was very impressed by the looks, sound, design... It's a nice car, but at the end of the day I don't know if it could do track work and not burst into flames.... I prefer the known quantity that is Porsche, I'm used to those now and there was not enough in it to make me switch allegiances. Respect though, seemed like a fun car, like a sophisticated corvette.... (hope that's not insulting)
There was no stick available either... deal breaker for me.
