Acceleration figures Tuscan-Chimaera

[Brui1000]

Hello,

have anybody realistic datas of the acceleration from a Chim/Griff 5.0 and a Tuscan from
0-100 miles and 0-120/130 miles? I can find for the Chim/Griff 5.0 0-100 miles 10.5 sec from
the TVR data sheet and sometimes I read 8sec for the Tuscan (0-100 miles) but I think this datas are not really realistic, or? Perhaps anybody have measured datas,

Kind regards from Munich

Hi Brui1000,
Tuscan S is supposed to be 8,???

Depends what you mean by 'realistic'.

Read the car mag' figures (which you hope stops everyone trying to race you) and then re-join the real world where the price of a new clutch, tyres, and UJs come into play.

A similarly powered automatic is likely to wipe the floor with most manuals, on the road, most of the time.

Did you see the 0-100 figures for the speed 12?? 4.68 Seconds!!!!!

Now thats why we loved TVR... They were just flaming bonkers!!! !

for the Chim the measured 9.5sec for 0-100 mph, this sounds good, I found datas in the TVR Power Portfolio for the 5.0 and the measured 13.5sec. This would be a big difference, but would figures would be normal?

Kind Regards

From figures I have achieved in my Tuscan:-

0-119mph in 12.4sec (1/4 mile @ Santa Pod)

0-155mph in 25.79sec (3/4 mile @ Fighting Torque)

Comparing these times to acceleration data of various cars from EVO mag, etc, and extrapolating back - the 0-60 of around 4 seconds and the 0-100 of approx 8-9 seconds would appear to be the case.

Bloody good fun finding out too...

And these would pretty much be the best figures a Tuscan could achieve I reckon. I was there on both occassions when Nelly1 set the above times and that was up against "S" spec Tuscan cars as well as Cerbs.

I would love another crack at Santa Pod!

I didn't get a single proper launch last time as the surface was like glass and it was effing FREEZING!!!

Nelly, 1/4 mile time and speed will be provided at FT08. Have to agree through, your Tuscan is definitely the one to beat.
