About to buy a V6 S or V8, (head or heart)?
i had a 19 plate V8R for six weeks as a loan car i felt the seats were more comfortable, the infotainment and navigation were also better, but felt the V6S rwd had more soul and character, i also think it sounds better. on a motorway run the V6 will return mid 30's comfortably and as expected the V8 was unable to match. both truly fantastic drivers car though.

Stop procrastinating and buy one.
Perfect year (best for build quality, and it's RWD, less to maintain/go wrong): viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4695
FWIW It will return mid 30s MPG

Jatboy,
Just remember Chris Harris has 100% skill and 0% financial outlay in the car he's driving, I suspect you may be the same as me and have those 2 figures the opposite way round which means in the end, we'd all like to powersilde round the corners but the potential cost of losing it generally means we're resigned to a little shimmy, quick back off and then full squirt on the straight.
Still, in an F Type R that's still great fun (can't speak for the 3.0, never been in one).

I've been lucky enough to have driven 'em all (including a V8R RWD at 165mph!) except the P340 and SVR, and they're all fun, though some are more fun than others!
And of course they all look fantastic, regardless of power plant.

The reality is that daily driving is no where near what Chris Harris, Rory Reid and Top Gear is able to expereince.
for the past few weeks, when I take out my car for a run around - I never get past 50km/hr (not 50mph !)
Traffic trucks, slow vehicles, gridlock.
And when on the freeway, once you're at the legal speed limit 120km/hr - that's it. I"m sure there's fun, but I still need to find it and it seems the only way is to book a few hours at the local raceway.
But I won't be doing burnouts anyway. I pay for these tires, damaged diff's whereas Chris doesn't - oh and I can't control a slide as he can !
