RE: Racing Team Creates 7.0-litre V8 TVR Sagaris

[longbow]

Ahem.... 6.9 litres makes 421 cubes I think! Not that it really makes that much difference

[ajp70]

I think a link to Brummmie's track days should be put up to show what an LS Cerb is like, albeit a very good one.

I have a 6.9ltr LS3 based Cerbera. It runs 11.1qtrs on street rubber, and have seem just over 200mph and it was still going, just run out of runway.
I would love to build one of these! People who say that the engine does not "work" in a TVR should try one first, they are simply BRUTAL!

Paul,

Thanks for the mail yesterday, I will give you a call when I get back from Spain and then we can meet up and compare notes.

Looks like you were at the race today. The Marcos that came 1st in class and 2nd over all was run by Topcats that put my engine in and it is the same engine that is in mine.

[grahamw48]

That'll be this one then:

Impressive car. I'm a big fan of Marcos too.



Another nice car, and good performer (would have won Sports and Saloon if not for the unfortunate 'off' )

I believe a late type 32 valve Ford V8 in this one....great sound. .

Hold on! Wowzers . . . What tires do you use? Car seems pretty sticky.

[julian64]

Kinsler. Almost everything they produce is automotive pornography.

That was 888 fronts, and 12 year old rear slicks, 30 quid each!

Ah, it'll be worth it, been meaning to meet you and Craig for a long time. recon we should all meet at one end of TopCats runway

Throttle bodies look awesome. You'll need a set of 4.5 carbon air boxes http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-ajp-8-carbon-fibre-induc... for that original Cerbie look

Rich.

Oh no they can't be . . . With over 500 brake on tap?

[blackiepaul]

Well boys and girls, it is home!

Drive in and drive out far quicker than anyone has got near to before with a LS conversion and the quality and attention to detail is fantastic.

I am sure they will release the dyno chart soon (it is as powerfull as we thought it would be) but I think it would be best to do it later on as Topcats are going to do an open day where interested peaple can come and have a look and maybe a drive or I will take peaple up and down the runway - not sure yet.

All I can say is "OH MY GOD"......... you would find it hard to believe the power this thing has and oh the noise and I do not have the guts to give it full beans yet. I have had four 911's and love them but I made a 911-997 look a right idiot on the way home, it was fun and so easy!

I have to say a very BIG thank you to Topcats - great work
