@ Fangio Man: I thought track performance was factored into these comparisons, either way, my bets are on the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet winning but the Jaguar F-Type V8 S giving it a run for its money.

But for this comparison are no braking tests and laptimes available. ;)
We have to wait until both cars have been tested at the same track till we can make a decision.

I wonder why the Jaguar lost in this comparison. It is faster from 0-100 mph, 0-200 kph and have a better power/weight ratio than the Porsche, while the Porsche only has a slightly better topspeed, better 0-40 kph and a better 0-60 mph. Both have the same 0-100 kph time.
Well...
