To be fair it must have been a pritty crap rolling road becasue they have recorded power of weel over 1000bhp, using cars with turbo charged engines, and with the extra instant rush they give off, that must have far more strain on the dyno.

If you get my drift. But yes one very sexy motor. You can actually buy them still, but wheeler advises customers not to buy them becasue he actually considers them dangerous. He dosent mind puttin ghtme in a showroom, but not as a road car.

17mm of throttle travel = near whiplash jump.gif 18mm of throttle travel = disipearing into the tyre smoke in the direction you just came from FIREdevil.gif

Was a gig put on by a UK magazine @ Thruxton (circuit).

Did the slalom first, then practiced emergency braking in Chryler Neons (Neon's bend when exiting the Karussel at the Nurburgring). Then some lapping, again in the Neons followed by a number of laps in either the VV or GTS (miserly 430bhp +/-) notworthy.gif

Lagoo, I think you may have set a record, this thread says it has had 14000 views!! I googled 'TVR Cerbera Speed 12' and we are on the first page, perhaps an explanation.

Oh, almost forgot, what a beast! Completely useless on the road, and for any track smaller than Silverstone for that matter too! Excellent PR for TVR no doubt.
