It's slower than the fastest F Type. (Doesn't stop it being a great car though!)

Perhaps in a straight line?

How much faster is the F Type SVR compared to the project 7?

http://www.caranddriver.com/features/lightning-lap...

4 LL4 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2:47.0
5 LL3 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 2:47.1
14 LL4 2016 Jaguar F-type Project 7 3:02.2

They're decent cars plus you can always have it converted to RHD if it's a problem, with the lap times this car puts in then it's definitely worthy of being classed as a true driver's car LHD or not

Vette blows Jag's project 7 into the weeds and comes within an inch of Porsche's much more expensive GT3,

I've no idea why people are dreaming about "new TVR" when they can just go out and buy a Vette.

Because the TVR is British and RHD, Oh, hang on British Russian and RHD

Not just the GT3, the GT3 RS.

This Grand Sport is a total beast.

It's 3.4 seconds quicker than the GT3 & 3.2 seconds quicker than the all singing & dancing NSX as well as only being 2.3 seconds off a 650S.

That's a well sorted car no matter what badge is on the bonnet.

yeah yeah yeah. Truth is it's a crude piece of yank plastic with fisher price quality, and a cart leaf spring. It's more likely to dump you into the scenery since it's only any good (just about) in a straight line and don't even get me started about the specific output. I mean to say over 6 litres and such a pathetic amount of horsepower

but of course - his TG opinions are to be considered as the foremost and most authoritative in the field of motoring.

Something very nice looking about that.

I take it soft touch plastics would make it a better drivers car?
The times above tell you it's not only a straight line
So would you consider the old C63 as making a pathetic amount of power?
How much is a GT3 RS?

I look forward to your response

During our Route 66 trip this year we met up with an 80+ lady and her female friend driving a C7 through New Mexico. And it left our Mustang Coupe in it's wake in a flash. Talk about Little Old Lady from Pasadena. I'm a Corvette C3 owner (in red of course) and the C7 and variants are the first proper Corvettes since 78. But the best US car I've ever driven - the 2016 Mustang GT. Not the convertible. The only new car I would buy today is the Mustang. But there again if I lived in California I might change my mind and choose a red Corvette!

[Dr Gitlin]

I drove the Grand Sport earlier this year on the road and on track, and it's definitely my favorite Corvette. The Z06 is overkill for the road and overheats on the track (although they're working on a fix for that) and this has all the other goodies from it. Wouldn't buy the auto though, even if some people found it made for quicker lap times.

Not sure if serious?!

TVR has been back in British hands for years, and it's been all over the motoring press and PH ever since....
