Bloody Quick!

[almack]

Have done around 1300 miles now, and I am now starting to give the loud pedal alittle more weight upto 5000rpm. OH MY GOD, THIS CAR IS QUICK!!!

Tuscan ownership is just getting better and better!

Yes they are so be carefull and don't put your foot down until your good and straight or you'll get the equivalent of a tank slapper and end up the wrong way round at best.
I've driven these beasts for years now and this one still scares me and deserves the utmost respect. I kinda learnt to control these tank slappers but you don't want to practice on the open road or near any crash barriers, looks cool though !

No pics but if it's that fast then it must be GREEN

Indeed, my Tam almost caught me out tonight, pulling out of a T-Juction with too much throttle, fishtailed quite badly, but luckily I caught it, twice!

Oh yeh and in this politically correct thread:-
Do be careful, make sure you have 500mtrs of run off in each direction and make sure you take a hanky

TY , costs an arm and a leg to keep her in tip top condition, she is very demanding! lol
I have been contemplating having a 3.6-4ltr upgrade, but how do sell that to the wife!, I know, tell the engine's gone pop and it has to go to TVR Power for a rebuild , She's never know!!!!!

[rogerhulks]

YEAH but you wouldn't have it any other way.

[rogerhulks]

Hey Chris mail me sometime we're kinda in the same field.

OK, what field is that, work?

[almack]

Careful at all times....she deserves the upmost respect!

Still not going over 5000 rpm yet and had a 911 996 turbo behind me coming out of a roundabout. I went into the inside lane to let him past, and the guy followed me, road open ahead. I think he knew what would have happened if I had put my foot down. After about half a mile he got the message and then overtook me at full pelt. Respect noted!

Have done 1400 miles now and was not going to go over 5000 rpm unitl around 1800-2000 miles, am I being abit to carefull or is it ok to put the loud pedal down abit more?
