I never flip flopped... I simply told you WHAT variable in the WHOLE system specificly makes them "underbraked" when you pushed for more details.. again, not my fault that jargon like "underbraked" is not readily understandable to you and that it needs to be explained to you the various ways it can be so. You really must be TRYING to act like a tool I guess then, cause no one is simply that toolish by accident.
Draw people like you a picture andnyoull just eat the crayons..
Psst that wasn't a pm, quit fake name dropping and letting your ego get in the way.

I like big cars with massive engines.......Audi S8 520HP twin turbo V8 or a Miata......AMG S65 638 HP/704 lbs. of TQ vs. a S2000.....No thanks on the *** stuff that you have to wind out to 8000 rpm to make it seem like it is fast.

I know the little stuff will handle great but I would rather lap those types with 3 buddies in the car and 4 sets of golf clubs in the trunk with the A/C blasting and the Bang and Olufsen blaring!

I miss this one. Guy we sold it to sold it to someone in Sweden. Solid 9.05-9.21 car at 152 mph everytime with the last engine combo. I believe the engine was changed out by who the car was sold to and it is in a 7.90-8.0 tube chassis car. Clearly different heads on it in the video.

One of the best handling and performing cars I ever owned was this TVR Cerbera Speed 8 which weighed 2400lb. It was 8in shorter than a new Porsche 911 and about 20in shorter than the current Ford Fusion so I don't know quite what size car that would make it in the USA. Technically a 4 seater but if the people in the back were over about 5ft 4" they might have wanted to remove their lower legs. Lots of legroom in the front passenger footwell so you could have a 6ft'er behind the passenger pretty comfortably with the seat forward, a 6ft passenger was comfy too. TVR called it a 3+1 rather than a 2+2.



Engine type: 4475cc V8 OHC 16v
Power: 420 hp (313 kW; 426 PS) at 6750 rpm
Torque: 380 lb·ft (515 N·m) at 4500 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.9 seconds
Top speed: 195 mph (313,7 km/h)

Wheelbase: 101.0 in
Length : 168.5 in
Width: 73.4 in
Height: 48.0 in

I thought some of you might enjoy this:



That takes care of my prime concern (the lack of power) and with the LS2 I could probably put up with the awful interior.
