I have seen alot of different quotes on the 0-60mph sprint time for the 4LTR ranging from 4.7 - 5.5 secs.

Does anybody know what TVR's own figures are for this??

And also, does anyone know of a proceedure you can have to remove the stupid grin from your face after being out in your Chim' for a blat? I'm beginning to look like Bonnie Langford!

I found that a speeding ticket did the trick.

The grin came back a day later though.

Low 5's using a bit of mechnical sympathy test drivers don't use should be fairly easily achievable IMHO.

I tried 0-60 the other night in the wet hehe :P Took 7 secs but was still going sideways at 60 even though I started out on that anti skid stuff.

I have a printout of a Top Gear group test (Marcos Mantra Spyder, Morgan Plus 8 and Chimaera 4.0) dated July 1994 and they have the TVR 0 – 60 at 5.8 seconds.

Book time for my car is 5.3, at Vmax7 Oggs and myself were fairly even to 60 so that *may* help. With more grip the big man would have gone a bit quicker, but you'd have to ask him.


Oggs tends not to do full bore starts, not like moi anywho !!

Be interesting to find out some defo times..... but when all's said and done.... it's the best fun I have ever had getting to 60!

Well, there was this one time on Oblivion.... but that wasn't quite the same
