nothing too unexpected given the extra power of the jag.

there's a bunch of other car vids from the gtboard crews august 2009 shootout in this thread:

Thats all very well but ten things will have gone faulty on the Jag before it gets home!

[Davey_Dee]

It won't get home if that many things are faulty lol

that's 5/5/5/3 for the jag vs 3/3/4/3 for audi - jaguar came joint first.

Hi Bloke,

I have seen that, I just assumed it's rigged or Jag / Land Rover owners are brainwashed during the vehicle handover :-)

In a recent episode of Top Gear, this Jag was compared to a M5. I don't think it's a fair match against the R8 V8.

Jag and Land Rover being so intersect, could we assume Land Rover has a better reliability as well?

We're getting a RR in a month, I hope it is.

I moved out into the sticks last year and brought a new Land Rover Discovery and its a total piece of s**t. However if you go on the Discovery forum they seem to think they are some kind of magic car and its OK that they keep going wrong, stuff doesn't work properly, dealers are rubbish and you have to wait months for parts.

S**t!!! That's not good. I don't want to be stuck on the road in the middle of a long road trip. I might have to reconsider buying a RR.

ps: just went on the discovery forum website and most the threads are about faulty something rather than how good this or that is ... wow
