Mark & John,

I am undoubtly from the Muscle car generation, big V-8s etc. However my 1st recollection was a D-type slot car at about age 12-13. I have always thought the Jags had the absolute best styling. This Jag I have is a 2+2. And as time has progressed, some of the odd angles are noticed. I spent nearly a full year with hand sketches, measuring tapes and pics to determine how Jaguar might build that car today to compete with a Viper or Z06. The ultimate goal is to maintain the Jaguar, but resolve the odd spots. Namely the overpowering greenhouse, the humpy C pillar area, narrow stance, the sinking beltline at the B pillar and how the body sides rolls under to quickly.
