Agree with you on the sound deadening. It may appear more luxurious, if you want a dead quiet car, but when I step on it, I wanna hear that V8 as well as feel it. With the jag engine, i just didnt feel it. Did they detune it so the supercharged would be more desireable? The RR Supercharged is wicked....but I was just comparing the NA V8's....I prefer the BMW engine...Has the gearing changed also? The transmission is also different right?

 

Thanks for the info guys, I'm going to take all this back to my partner to see if it changes his mind any.
