Really?
Yes, can you prove otherwise?I can only see a Cerbera with a LS3 engine in it.....
Not really a TVR any more is it.
Did the factory ever sell any? to say you have the fastest TVR in the world is a bit rich when its got a completely different power plant.

if it says tvr on the log book its a tvr...and if we use the argument that amending it from factory specs makes it somehow no longer a tvr, then none of drive a tvr any more!

I insure it as a TVR, so I should insure it as a red blob?
i think we start a FPSB (fake plastic s
t box) group.. I'm quite happy with my fpsbi can try to tell DVLA its a FPSB and not a tvr anymore...but i don't think they'll let me

see the big difference in the reaction time. Even the commentator says so. The difference at the finish line was 0.6071 seconds so add that to Simons 10.5819 give me a time of 11.189 if we set off together. Lets say my reaction time was 4 tenths slower then this would have given me a new PB of 10.789 @ 128.95
Typical luck, rare the timings get messed up.
I had a look at that clip, impossible to see the reaction on the lights, all I could see was white smoke!!!!!!!!

The fact that Simon was 2 car lengths ahead within 100 feet should tell you i got a real bad start.It was definately a 10, many agree with me that it could have been in the 10.7's
Who knows, maybe this run beat Brummmies best time

think you have a decimal point missing there.
Hold my hands up to most Cerbs for top speed tho.
I do have a 3.08 diff now and the theory is 179 with a 150 shot of gas so no slouch. Would be worried about losing the roof.... again
Nah - Road angel went loopy, started counting up, through the hundreds as we drove along so we snapped it where it decided our final speed must be.Hold my hands up to most Cerbs for top speed tho.

Cool, mine is standard looking, with a 4.2 ajp. Ok it's been mapped, has different exhaust system, and Nitrons and I've put a stereo in. Is it ok to run Shell V power in your eyes?I can only see a Cerbera with a LS3 engine in it.....

Someone about 9 years ago got just over 200mph on the long downhill run on an autobahn in a 4.5
I've had 190 indicated at Bruntingthorpe. Brummie however blows that away.

I think i have you worried... 'ooh Derek little 4.6 is going to take my number 1 spot on the 1/4 mile table, what am i going to do? Better get an even bigger engine asap. Maybe 8 litres will be enough'Gassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
