My $.02 about the F-Type, both the base and F-type s are slower 0-60 (5.1 sec and 4.8 respectively) vs the M3/M4, only the F-type R is as fast, but starts at $100,000, and has bad MPG. The standard brakes on all three are the crappy sliding calipers, with the F-Type R being the only one with optional up-gradable brakes. The big one, is NO manual transmission, same gripe I have about MB C63. But hey, at least you get the cool door handles with the Jag.
