its not 400bhp at fly,its 400bhp@wheels which was also run up in 4th gear instead of the usual 3rd gear,this car would prob make over 500bhp fly at many rollin roads around the country

Default tuscun

bloody fast cars, my best mates got one, all chipped and modded, Ł1000 for suspension, special exhausts, de cated, chipped etc, blew my ducati away from stand still in every gear, also we pulled away from my other mates sagaris, quite easily, just depends how fast you can afford to go
went to santa pod, last year, got 0-60 in 4.1, got blew away by an rs200 that done 2.9, also someone had trashed a gear box on the track, so traction wasnt the best, but would never have neat the rs,

If nige wants some proper proven times for his TVR, its easy

I got proper racelogic 100% accurate GPS timing gear.

Would take 10mins to set up in his car.

I pass by Bristol every day going to work n back, and only half hour away when at home or work.

He can get some of the times there n then, and then il take the thing home n get all the datalogging off it to get some even more detailed stuff.

Sounds like fun, and im up for it
