These cars are the tatas

I've been a member a few years and after getting rid of my '06 Viper I wasn't sure I'd be back. Picked up a Carrera S last week and finally got around to taking delivery. Coming from an '06 Viper I must admit that I do miss the torque; HOWEVER, this S feels like such a scalpel next to the old sledgehammer (Viper). In all honesty, the S seems so much faster at everything without upsetting anything along the drive. My son was fortunate enough to take it home from the dealership and I do not recall him ever being that exited after driving a car.

That's all for now. Drive safe and see you all on the road.

hehe, the right part of the 'brand selector' on the Tata homepage is Jaguar with a pic of the F-type...

edit: Forgot to congratulate the OP for his beautiful new ride!

Congrats, she's a beauty. Enjoy your time with your son, I've been sharing my car with my son and it's awesome. We just did our first autocross and track day, what a blast.

Beautiful! Congrats and enjoy it. Doesn't the car feel surgical? The handling is pinpoint accurate.
