Here is my old SX, had near enough 400bhp with a mod list longer than your arm - pistons/injectors and gt 2871r ect.. full suspension, practically everything even big brakes, RLTC and HIds
It was fast, i mean very very very fast once it got traction as it was not that heavy (say 1250kilos). I never got it dynod with the final spec and map i did before i sold it but as previous ones were all rising significantly my guess if circa 400 wont be far out.

Behind it is the 190e i had as well, lovely old thing. MAssive straight 6, auto box and surprisingly quick. wnet round corners a bit boat like but did ok.
I really regret shifting the nissan but i had had enough or crawling under cars.. It was by miles the fastest thing i have owned or driven, christ it went.
0-100 prob single figures easy. Old quarter mile before i took the engine out for its big refurb and mod fitment was 13.00 dead (112mph) at only 1.1 bar.

A picture of the cat waiting to pounce, ran a PB of 11.2@124mph, can't believe how quick this car is to be putting down such times stock, Jag/SVR did an awesome job. :D

I don't consider a battery and brakes to match the ceramic factory option really a modification, neither does Jaguar as warranty is un-affected.
Moment I slap a pulley the warranty could be a bit hit and miss, put a tune on it and warranty is goodbye.

I've not even got panel filters, I just put new stock filters in though I feel the air intake setup on this car is very well engineered and spot on. :)

It's a beautiful car. They do make cars that are so good to look at!!

And, just curious, what is your daily driver?

Any plans to take it around some corners..... Perhaps some long sweeping bends and one or two chicanes?!

It does that pretty much every day, needless to say most capable car I've owned as it combines both handling and grip. To drive its almost like driving an EVO but with a more RWD balance, its very capable. Will take it round Donnington at somepoint but I don't see it as a track car, its 1700kg and for me anything over 1500kg on track just feels heavy, particular under braking, though my mate who has an SVR took his Bedford couple of weeks ago and said it was a huge surprise with how capable it was, only weakness for him is the brakes had enough after a few laps, not really an issue for mine as they are upgraded.

This is my daily driver, the M3 is the weekend/track toy. :)

Better than the M3??

On the road I'd say yes on a capability front as the suspension is extremely compliant, really soaks up bumps, has some lean so it can really hang on. But its different, M3 is a different kind of ability on the road, I generally find myself now driving the M3 like a loon, every time I take it out I find myself sideways a lot, done on purpose of course but thats the fun in it.

On track I'd say the M3 is more capable, but would probably be slower if that makes sense. The SVR is a 7:30 ring lap car, the M3 probably around 7:45, of course circuits differ from ring.

Very hard, both very capable, but both very different in how they go about it and both totally fun but again in different ways. Makes them a great pair. :)

Brilliant, It would be a shame to have a car like that only out on track days. An F-Type would definitely be on my wish list. Should be able to afford this years model by 2035!! And while speaking of impossible dreams would like an E-Type Eagle Speedster for the weekends :)
 
Nice RS5, shame about the wheels... Ruin the whole car for me! Needs something aggressive, more densely spoked, at least an inch smaller, and then the car needs dropping a tad... IMO of course.

Nice M3 too. :D
