That's why I love my TVR.

I had one behind me when they first came out going from Track V Road to Harrogate over the tops... and although not easy.. I did get away from it... (thats when I had the old Billies on 
) But did think at the time he may be running it in or may be new to the car.. I would have thought they would be all over Griff / Chim, even 500's??

In even an average drivers hands, an R8 driven down twisty roads will always be ahead.
You might be able to catch one out for a bit using the great mid range torque of an RV8 but as the speed builds he'll be showing a clean pair of heels.
Handling on a standard griff/chim is decidedly average and unless you have mods giving 350ish bhp, I wouldn't bother, (or I would just for fun!).
