sorry M5 chimaera wins!!!what a 5 litres will be???
Discussion
just came back from my night drive.a dude with his M5 try to race my orange lady from the toll.1st to 3th gear but lost very very badly after that he gave up.my car has around 224hp so i can imagine what a 300hp chimaera will be.damn give me more time to save and i will be in 300hp club soon.cam and chip will be in pretty soon,cant wait to see the difference!!
she is pretty fast but still want more power.i have a TR7 with a toyota supra swap in pushing 5**hp++ and made my friend's GT3 RS looked like a slow beetle.i also have a verymean Cefiro A31 with an RB26 gte twin turbo in it pushing over 570hp as well.but my TVR was and still is my dream car since i saw one 10 years ago.i will never ever sell it.if i do it ll only to get an other TVR.i am so jealous of u guys that u can get them so cheap in UK and so many different model as well.here only the Chimaera and only the 4litres.

had one up my chuff yesterday, hmmm now i have just shy of 500hp, bye bye parked M5I had an encounter with an M5 last summer.
I'm not up on my E numbers? it was one of the new 5 litre V10 500hp jobs with a very naughty exhaust.
All I can say is as it went past I very nearly crapped myself, the sound was demonic and the speed that thing generated was biblical.
I may as well have been in a Fiat Panda, it totally annihilated me.

Those v10 m5s are extremely serious. I'm not up on my E numbers? it was one of the new 5 litre V10 500hp jobs with a very naughty exhaust.

Pretty much the fastest cross country car I've ever driven.
No normal RV8 Tiv could hold a candle to one at any stage.

I've had various fast things go past me including a Ferrari 458 that I moved over for at 120, he then dropped a cog and let it go.
But surprisingly it was that bonkers M5 that really sticks in my mind, you just don't expect it from a saloon.
And the sound, oh my god the sound

The old 3.8 (340bhp) E34 M5's have around 240bhp per tonne so not far off a good 4.0 Chim. The V8 E39 m5's have only 220 per tonne.
An e39 would still be quicker than a 400, even ish to 60 then would clear off. For a heavy car they are very quick. I would also be suprised if the cayman s and z4m would be beaten by a 400 if they were trying. Just going on what my 400 was capable of. I stand to be corrected Chimpafrolic said:

I drove one through France for a week. An outstanding car. Utterly forgiving and the performance at any point was superb. I've had various fast things go past me including a Ferrari 458 that I moved over for at 120, he then dropped a cog and let it go.

Came home and went to buy one. Drove it on UK roads and it just didn't work. I think the UK roads were just too small for it. You felt you were sitting in something being held back. It needed the open, sweeping roads of the continent to work.
Whereas the Tivs are close to unbeatable for that English experience on English roads.

My Dad's Z4M is a pretty even match for my 500 in the straights, I should imagine it would be leaving a 400 well behind. Definitely loses out in the noise battle though!
