The event is not really aimed at monster tuned cars - you've got TOTB for those. This is about factory standard supercars. 90% of the TVRs running are standard, and so its only fair to pitch them against similar standard cars. As TVR owners we see Porsche 911s, Lotus Esprits, Ferrari's, Lambo's, Vipers, Vette's, Nobles, Ultimas (cough!), AMGs, M series BMWs, Audi RSs etc as fair game. Modified Supras/Skylines etc are undoubtedly very fast, but doesn't prove much really.

You really should take something for the cough Longbow, I'll bring some Strepsils with me

You could have written that in Italian, but then nobody going to this would understand it.

Well personally I think my Corsa would beat any car in this event. Just picture me burning down the track. Oh yes... POWER! 3 cylinders pumping out a massive 10 horses of power. Oh yes, I would own you all. 0 to 30 in 47 seconds muahahahahaaaa!

It would be good if a Bug Veyron gave it a shot.

I haven't seen the list of cars taking part (is there one) but I also hope a speed 12 turns up.

I'm personally hoping Noble's surprise a few people. I'm pretty sure they'll be a few leaving rubber on the runway

I wonder how many cars will be tuned to within few bhp's of melting their engines....I'm thinking Skylines and Supras running >1000bhp.

Open the glovebox and fold your rear seats flat (for better weight distribution) and you should easily see another 35MPH at the end of the strip.

Excellent, I only live round the corner to this.

Turn the boot mouted Sub around 90 degress and put on a loud bass track for aditional boost?

[RUSSELLM]

XKR, Maser 3200 or 4200, Evo 340 or 400, be nice to see a Scooby etc

Im just about to book up with the Tuscan, going to talk my mate into coming along with his (genuine!) 500bhp 3000gt, having been out in it a few times I have a horrible feeling he is going to make me look very very slow.

having said that I'll try and get my business partner to come along in his carrera 4S, and I'll make him look slow!

I mean of course before my poor car has a heart attack and dies from doing over 6000 revs in 5th gear

Hi All,

I originally had a lift arranged for this day that has sadly fallen through.

Is there any chance one of you decent chaps could give me a ride?

There's obviously a pint or two in it for you.

Many thanks,

David.
