RE: Time For Tea? TVR Tuscan V8
Discussion
It's a lovely sound but it's not what a Tuscan should sound like to me.

^ that's why a straight six will always be my first love; cultured and angry in the same breath (I still maintain that the LS engined Tiv in the OP also sounds fantastic)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSlkKO-ERD0

Nice but...... should have fitted an AJP :-) :-)
Know what Warwick? I think the AJP8 sounds cack. It's obnoxious and I love its character and delivery but I could take or leave the sound.I reckon the Tuscan would suit the AJP8 and its brutal mentalism better and the more classic looking Cerbera maybe better suits the Speed Six.
Hmmmm.

Seriously why would you, especially when you can have a 400bhp Tvr S6 with a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty for less than £10k
8200 rpm in a speed-6 engined race car vs 8300 rpm in a standard S54-engined remapped road car? Plus you could buy a crashed M3 for a lot less than £10k.The howl of the S6 is hard to beat. Even at idle it's nuts. A few weeks ago I pulled up at the lights behind a T350c- I could feel the burble through the pedals of my car where the sound waves were making the bulkhead vibrate. when it pulled away it left me grinning like a school boy
I'm sorry but no straight 6 can compare to the sound of a Crossplane V8, as demonstrated by this lovely TVR griffith

Sound, yes ok the S6 sounds better at full chat but people are missing some important points here. The LS can rev from cold, is totally unstressed, can be tuned/ mod'd easily up to 600 HP without too much hassle and is emissions compliant. My S6 cars sounded like a bag of spanners from cold until warm so most of my driving was done below 3000 RPM and not that much fun. I swapped my Tuscan S2 for a griff as I just couldn't put up with the compromised practicality of the S6.
I can see why someone who isn't too fussed about the clear difference in noise but wants a more practical (and cheaper in the long run) TVR would go for the conversion.
Looks and sounds great in the video. Congrats to the owner.
