Stunning car and some great driving smile

I think however a better title for this thread would be "4.8 litre V8s rule"

Most of the others out there were 2 litre 4 cylinder types so no wonder you blew them away hehe

Just done a walk round vid of the car. Quite difficult as my Gopro camera has no screen.

Hardly an acheivement with 300 plus bhp, given the other cars werent performance cars.

A Ferrari 360 has a similar power to weight ratio as your car, would be interesting to see the results on track.

Not forgetting the MGB was designed in the 1960's with rear leaf springs and a heavy live axle.
Yes the car is modified but uses all the original suspension mountings, just the lever arm dampers have been ditched in favour of adjustable tube shocks with None of the springs being adjustable.
Maybe you should jump in the passenger seat some time!

Im not doubting the technology will be inferior to a modern machine, just presumed the video would be your car on track with some cars more to your level of performance.

How about this one then two 500+ bhp evos and a nissan GTR + sierra cosworth Audi S4. You can see that I am struggling to keep up but it was great fun.
