I remember my friend wanted me to specifically call his car, Z06 and not a Corvette. This was back in the C6 days. I'd say it was fair to call it what it is given the major differences between the 2 (i.e.: Jaguar XE vs Jaguar Project 8 for those who watches Grand Tour season 3).I refer to it as "the Type-R", as in "are we taking your car or the Type-R?"
I love following your posts. Every time I think there aren't anymore red accessories you can add... BOOM! more red LOL
