come on Dom, just a few for us ! We need serious weapons to keep up with the new generation from Maranello, they are bl**dy fast.

Good adventure. Heat management will be big issue as I'm sure you know; after my track experience just with 4.2 overheating gearbox after many hot laps, suggest fully wrapped exhaust system as well as turbo & manifolds

We're already there... apart from the Winstanley Sagaris on the circuits;


T350 4.2 TVR Power engine current record at Loton Park hillclimb; 58.4 secs

F458 (champ-winning driver) new Ferrari record this month; 58.8 secs

Absolutely love the F458, that is very very impressive, especially since you lose significant time with the gearbox alone!

YHM in a bit too, new suspension is on.

how much torque do you want ?

Dom

[GT TVR]

at the fly: 400 lbs and 500 bhp ... the first can be obtained with a 4.5 I think.

[sidewayz]

Bxggxr, my 4.3 is now underpowered.

[SAGRIFF]

I'm thinking 500 BHP and 450 lbft would be ideal for a Sagaris

so why do you ask, Dom?

would a well tuned 4.5 be enough maybe?

Dom
As always pleased you are improving the engines but if you are not going to sell the 5 litre what would be the point of test driving it.
Drove your 4.5 albeit only briefly and was very impressed, still saving up though, one day maybe.

Pushing the limits for gt racing, as for the 4.3 and 4.5 these are perfect for road applications

Er Dom, so if one was present you with a boggo ish standard 4ltr Sag and request of you 500ponies and 450ft of the good stuff and enquired if your turbo plans would make that...would you say "Yes" and be flogging it as a road package?
