Quickest in what way?
Mine seems to annoy my pretty chuffing quickly at the moment, but I guess you dont mean that.

I would have to open a can of worms and say RT Racing have with the Thorpedo...lights fuse, and runs...

I would have thought steve heaths has got to be upther somewhere i dont know what final drive he has but presume somewhere around 3.6? should give a top speed of around 175+ if the thorpedo is running same gearing wont be as fast due to lower rpm limit

"Grey Ones"? Back in 1992 "Red Five" was the quickest - Streaky

Surely those built on a Friday afternoon will be the quickest, what with having half the parts missing and weighing less...

I think you will find Simon that as 350s go, an Odd ball red one is much quicker

It was built on a Friday B4 bank holiday weekend, its driven and fettled by a nutter from Stoke and its got tread on the rear tyres

Mine seems pretty quick to empty the tank - the price of filling it seem to have risen pretty quick too!!!

In 1987 TVR made a one off SEAC,body stayed basically the same,but instead of the rover V8 they shoehorned a 6.6L Donovan race engine in,detuned to just over 580 bhp.

This is the best pic i can find,but i can get some more soon note the small rear wing
