Presumably 220 mph is easily possible with a tuned speedometer

Hmm..............methinks the answer is no on all counts!!!
Thats the sort of review you would expect in "Lax Power"

While you're on Mark (when aren't you? ), I've found that SPL meter you were after.

I'll take it in to work tomorrow - if you get a break from your {ahem!} busy schedule.......

...'Tiger Specialist' indeed.....

[roop]

Bhaha 220mph. I passed it in my Honda doing 245mph. Whatever.

[trackcar]

Wasn't there talk of someone from the factory nudging just past 200mph in one of the press cerberas on the continent?

[BigAlinEmbra]

Probably doesn't know his alphabet and wrote mph instead of kph.

[byker28i]

There's another one - 210Mph, left hand drive and ABS

[itsallyellow]

left hand drive but you just have all the controls on the right???? maybee thats why he couldnt read the speedo acuratly????
mike

[mad mark]

He doesn't seem to know his left from his right either

Unless the pics are not of the car!!!

[craigw]

i think it would take a very special cerbie to break 200mph real speed (not speedo), much as I love em.

that'll be the yellow tvr 100 plated car, i was lucky enough to drive that car "with the press engine" in it, not driven a quicker cerb since

It was a very special car!

It is a very special car. One previous TVR MD topped 198 mph in her and I also know of one other who I believe touched 205 mph (although that may have been with the help of the 5.7 litre engine whilst in developement). Currently Im guessing its the fastest standard Cerb having touched 333 bhp at the wheels during a visit to GOD at TVR POWER.

Yup - sadly thats called speedo reading, which i didnt care to think of how flaky it was on my first cerb back in 2001.... probably more like 180ish given the speedo-error margin.

This time round, it'll be *REAL* officially metered 250+! Veyron cant kiss my ass!
