Dont under estimate the calibra on paper it beats a saph cossie(both standard)

Due to Aeros on motorway they will hit 160 standard all day long a but of tweaking 350bhp and you have a weapon.

yes ive owned a few and loved them

you know the white calibra man well

now the funny thing is a few months ago .. another of my mates asked me if i knew someone with said car ... he owned a tvr chimera at the time .. turns out he was trying to race him down the m3 at 1 am .. again it turns out he whooped him .. but speakin to my mate .. the story was .. gong past fleet services he came flying up alongside .. my mate matched him all the way down the motorway sat alongside him ... when in the distance on the hard shoulder there was police car who had pulled someone over ... tvr driver slows down to a slower speed as does calibra driver .. but pulls in front of him
hence he beat him

jay you busy sunday ???
