Yeah. I guess it's probably limited to save the drive train? Looks it from the table top torque 'line'

I've changed my mind, I had a run out this morning, did 140 miles and averaged 70 mph.
The car is fantastic in every way, it's not too fast to have fun, it's too fast to have fun in a socially acceptable way. I set off out at 5.30 am and ran some wonderful Yorkshire roads, total bliss. Used half a tank and the car stunk to high heaven when I got home.
Bloody brilliant.

40 months in, 35k miles at 18.5mpg.
What can I say.
I'm used to the pace. A normal car is dull and boring. A 340d recently was a non event.
I also now have a 997 911 C2S. Slower than the jag but closer to the coupe...
For those who wish to know what it's really like to own a super car in a working week suit... (jag) Its damn expensive, tyres, brakes, suspension.. I've never had a bill less than 2k for a service or repair. Consumables are eaten at a rate I never expected.
Porsche - reliable and brilliant but, no personality...
The worst part?
My coupe of 11 years is sat waiting to be recommissioned and I can't wait to drive her again. Even over 500bhp and 3 years hasn't killed the passion.
