“2015 - 2017, meaning its stock 5.0-liter V8 produces 435 hp (324 kW) at the rear tires. On paper, it would seem the advantage goes to the SVR, but it’s also roughly 1,500 pounds heavier.” 2020 SVR / R.I.P. 2019 SVR / 2016 D4 Landmark / 2005 D3 HSE

Interesting? That very much depends on your worldview. Personally I can think of nothing more tedious than nasally discussing dragstrip (or whatever it is) times. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

It has nothing to do with worldview, it’s the fact that 2 completely different autos can achieve the exact same time. On paper it makes no sense. If you don’t want to discuss it you don’t have to comment. 2020 SVR / R.I.P. 2019 SVR / 2016 D4 Landmark / 2005 D3 HSE

It has everything to do with your worldview and in mine this is just dull. This is also the beauty of an open forum, I can discuss and proffer an opinion on something because your post is out there for all to see, it's not restricted to some anoraks on www.0-60.com. If you don't want people to offer an alternative view either don't post it or just ignore them. Simple really. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

Why don’t you enlighten us then on what you find in life or related to an L494 that isn’t “dull”. Then we can start a new topic chain and you can lead us all to edge of our seats. Perhaps then and only then will the rest of the forum be educated on what you deem to be an acceptable topic(s). Thumbs Up 2020 SVR / R.I.P. 2019 SVR / 2016 D4 Landmark / 2005 D3 HSE

Not up to me to decide what you should find interesting or not, you make your own decisions just as I've made mine. Should I decide to post something as dreary as, I don't know, parking infractions then I would expect to see all manner of responses from the wildly indifferent to the hang 'em high brigade. Equally I would be inclined to ignore those just trying to yank my chain, if you get my drift. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

Australia 2013 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 SE Fuji White

Another view, in Australia the RR gets a 5 star safety rating and the mustang gets 3.
One may be good for the race track but I know what I would rather drive on the road.

2010 TRAKKA Motorhome Fiat Ducato GONE (What a dud, don't buy one)
2006 Discovery 3 SE TDV6 Automatic Chawton White/Ebony. Loved but GONE
2006 BMW X5 diesel White/Charcoal, Bought new, Gone after 12 years! Was Excellent.

Not sure what the vid is trying to prove - lower power and lighter weight vs higher weight and more power.

My brother has had a Mustang for the past 3 years and says it is the worst car he has ever owned - poor ride, poor ergonomics and very poor resale value (even worse than Landrover) - he has just sold the Mustang with only 6,000km on it for considerable loss. A typical American car - all engine, poor quality control and design and not much else.

LOL, the SVR is by miles the better vehicle. Plus the Mustang jumped the start. Wink SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Never really seen the point of the SVR. It's a 4x4 SUV & can't go round corners quickly. If you want a sports car, buy one.

I think for most SVR customers it is important to have fun with a car that offers a lot more than a sports car.
They know it is not really made to win races... 😊
And there are also status consumers, they want to show that they can afford the top model of a line and feeling good then.

But to drag race, oh no 😬 2012 RRS HSE SDV6, BOURNVILLE 12/12-10/14

One could say the same for most LR owners... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
