F*** my old boots

Just had a test drive of a T350 from Castle TVR, what a car. Makes my old Chimaera seem very slow. T350 pulls quite hard to 5000 rpm (not too dissimilar to my Chimaera - Honest) then takes off like a train to 7200!! nothing like anything else I have ever driven.

Get down the dealers and get yourself a test drive!!

I can't wait - just 5 weeks to delivery and about 6 months running it in!

6 months! It took me 2 weeks to do the first 1000 miles on my Tamora! If you're this excited about buying the T350C you might as well drive it when you get it!

I must just be an old lady, but I find the 3.6 engine a bit annoying - I don't "like" driving generally between 5 & 7k revs (mechanical sympathy and all that)and would willingly trade some of that go for some more a bit lower down - not a problem I ever felt with the 4ltr engine in the Cerbera, which was happy to bibble between 2&4k - but you do seem to have to do that to get a decent push out of it.

.....wonder if the factory would be willing to tune for torque rather than ultimate top-end wap

Beast, I fail to see the relevance your post has to this thread? Have you posted on the the wrong thread by mistake?

looks relevant in reply to the first post to me ???

Speaking of which, I have always been a fan of tree stump pulling torque in a V8 engine, moving to the Tuscan RR engine, is ok, only revs to 7K required(limiter at 7300rpm) and pretty good torque, hopefully test drive a T350 soon so will be interested to see if really needs to be driven all the time with loads a revs...maybe that's why the rumour is the Tuscan R(racecar) might have a supercharger ?

Sorry beast, I read the first post yesterday and forgot what it said this morning!
Taxi for ALT!
