Hi chunky79,
Here is a useful comparison of the jag XFR with the standard C6 RS6 saloon - on the road and track.

The XFR comes out on top all round as a daily driver and is a pretty car a la Aston Martin. However I am a jaguar tragic myself with a 1969 E Type convertible, but the C6 RS6 is an awesome beast. I prefer the C6 RS6 over the XFR Jag for the greater power plus extra safety of AWD with wet weather conditions. The RS6 on comfort mode suspension setting provides quite a good ride, nearly up there with the XFR. The Lamborghini derived V10 TT of the RS6 is unique as well.
As many other posters have attested, a mapped C6 RS6 is a totally differnt beast to a standard one- a rocket ship, but still reliable and no different as a daily driver to standard until you put 'the pedal to the metal'.

ps if jag were to come out with an AWD twin turbo charged V8 XFR, I would be very tempted, but it is still not a V10 TT that can be easily mapped to 700 bhp!!
At my local Jag club, the C6 RS6 is a 'shock and awe' machine with much respect.
