Went dragging in my Cerbera on Saturday with my latest engine mods, and at the 660ft marker she was 7.6secs at 99.43mph, Qtr was 11.4@129.4mph. Does this make mine the quickest road going TVR over a Qtr?

Richard D has put these figures into a computer simulation, he did not know the 660 figure when he did it, so remarkably close!!

Very impresive figures, but I think you would be second to a well prepared road going Tuscan challenge car.

Very impressive figures clap

Can i ask what your 60 foot times were and what tyres you have on the back.
My nitroused Chimaera has run 12.1 @ 117 with a 1.94 60 foot, 7.94 @ 91.9 660ft.
I hope to be in the 11's at York this weekend but a long way off your times!

By my calcs you must have at least 500 bhp!

Toyo 888's, 2.043 60ft (rubbish) only got 3 runs due to the rain, theres an 11.2/130mph in that car for sure.

Yeah mines on R888's also.
I agree 11.2 is to be had.
I run only 12 psi in the rear of mine and it brought my 60 foot times down.
If you get a good launch then 0-60 will be 3.6 and 0-100 will br 6.9.
Do you know how much power you have under the bonnet then?

Nice car. I live in Dorridge, is there a chance we could meet up at some stage as I would love to have a look. My mate who also has a Sag like me would like to build a LS powered Cerb and so would I.
