The refinement is distinctly higher than in the Zed, but then you'd hope so for double the price. Even though in power to weight terms, the high power V6 is the same as my 350bhp celica, It just puts it down in a different way. I have a sharp peak 350bhp (turbo), while the F-Type has buckets of it all the way through due to supercharged loveliness. The V8 pulls like a god damned train and I fully support his statement of "get the one with the massive engine". On the road I completely agree, it's so comfortable to drive, and while driving them I have literally had people leaning fully out of their vans/cars and commenting how utterly stunning it is. You really do remember the power figure when you overtake though, it makes passengers grab on tight and make remarks like "oh... oh dear"
