What i would like to know is that if the guy who wrote that article thought the 350 was all over the place when you put your foot down and it was very arse endy,how come the stig managed to put in the same time round that track as the new lambo???
Listen to me the new spokesman of TVR who would have thought it.

What I also want to know is why the TVR's time has come off the lap time board they use on TG? Last week they had the EVO IIIIIIIII and the Impreza Thingy on and you could see they'd taken the TVR Phallous off.

Maybe they left it off 'cos it was too good (1:28/1:29 - 2 runs with diff suspension settings for those who didn't see it). A TVR quicker than an EVO on the track, that can't be the case ...

Who do I complain to? (OK, I'll go look on their website).

Maybe the time has been taken off as the car wasn't in production spec at the time (hence the suspension setup differences).
They used the chameleon green car that was used for all the early press shots - the press car is now a silver one & as TG magazine have already printed a test maybe it'll appear on the tv show soon?
