I love a TVR V8 (4 so far) but I have to say I'm not that won over by that sound. Prefer a Rover V8 thanks. Maybe it's due to those ridiculous cans stuck out the back like a spotty 17 yr olds Nova SR.

No, keep the straight 6, but spend the money on an upgrade 4.3. Seems the way forward to me.
I don't know, I think the V8 (for people who want it) is OK for the Tuscan and Sagaris because they are outrageous to look at, and they more of a GT car - I understand why adding the V8 is compelling.

I am having the 4.3 next month because I think it will suit my Tamora more, as I enjoy it most on the twisties and have no interest in raing anyone else. If I had a 500bhp V8 installed, I think it would have too much power and torque, and handicap the driving experience. IMOHO.
