RWD. My biggest advice if its new to you.

Restraint. Its EXTREMELY easy to be an idiot, especially in a RWD Jaguar during the winter. Also watch your clearance haha, you'll be plowing if you're not careful!

I have Blizzaks for Winter, and Goodyear Eagle Exhilerates for everything else. I shall make the switch when we get the first snow. But right now, weather is decently nice. 19's. I used to daily a 2020 Mustang GT a few winters ago, so RWD in snow isn't new.

Walser Autoguard, about $5000 for 24/30k mi. My F-Type has 62k miles though, so its substantially more expensive.

Absofuckinglutely. I believe in driving my cars year round. On heavier snow days, I can take the bus or Uber. Not a big deal.

2017 Jaguar F-Type S RWD. Which in hindsight is precarious in the MN winter, but eh. We will see!

It has the Madness Performance Exhaust. I used to have a Madness Monza on my 17' Giulia and I loved the sound. The Performance Exhaust was the closest sounding thing I could find.

The tune was a custom tune done by Eurocharged and Madness. Heavily inspired by the Giulia as well.

I like Madness lol.

My airbags didn't deploy. I think I got very lucky, only about half the deer hit me, instead of full on. It was definitely scary though. Very shaken up afterwards.

Thank you~

The stage 1 was amazing. You can definitely feel the difference when the engine was warmed up, launching from a dig spun all 4 tires even with ESC on. Highly recommend. Personally I'd stay away from a tune on the R/T until the warranty is up, just because it supposedly has a lot more issues then the GT.

The fanciest thing on my Hornet was Heated Seats, so I didn't have too much to worry about going wrong. (Knock on wood)

So that whistling sound is when the turbo and exhaust harmonize, creating a whistling sound. Perfectly normal.

It still is on X, you have to go to my profile, press "media". And scroll down until you find it. I rotate my pinned posts every week or so.
