its best time was in 1993 at santa pod ,it ran 12.85s in 77 degree heat and 988 mb barometric pr ,so not really favourable cond .my best poss was 12.56s .this was on treaded tyres and over 2 second 60 ft ,full rd trim weight 2500lbs . i dont really keep up to date thse days with m type tvr quarter mile performance ,so i dont know if that is seen as fast ,perhaps someone could say thats more in touch ?

anybody let me know if this is slow now ?lol
how does it compare with the modern tvr's . is there a table of times on the site ?
thanks robert.




Post it on the main thread, but I think a mildly warmed over 500 Griff / Chim will do about that.

Mind a std 3.5 would only make about 160bhp straight out of a period Rover. 500 spec RV8's make std make about 260 - 260bhp and a mildly warmed one about 310 but very good torque (350 or maybe more - all just cash!).

So you times are bloody good.

Mine is not a std 500 (Or even an RV8)....


this thread was running on the classics page but jellison suggested i ask on here so ,,,here it is !
thanks
