My brother has just brought a Red Rose TVR Tuscan with 390bhp!!....and boy is it fast!
Using the AP-22 we clocked 0-100 in 9.01 sec's...my Scooby has a best of 12 sec's and that was with it over boosting.
Back to the drawing board!!!!

Amazing looking cars.
That 0-100 is what a few of the test drivers got on a track with a Tuscan S, very very quick!!
Dont know if your Scoob would ever stand a chance against that, unless you trick him into following you onto a rally stage

I think the Red Rose version that my bro. has got has the same 390bhp engine as in the Tuscan 'S'...hence the 0 - 100 times!
No way would my Scoob ever keep up with him in a Straight line..but throw in a couple of bends and add a Link ECU upgrade and maybe.....................Sorry I dozed off for a bit!
I'm driving it home tonight so I'll report in tomorrow!

Boy, what a drive into work this morning!! This car is dangerous, the rear wheels spin in the first 4 gears, it does 85 mph in second gear, it has no traction control or ABS and it makes a sound that makes the hairs on your neck stand up!!
I never thought that I'll drive a car that makes my WRX STI type RA seem boring.......what a mad bad car!

Agreed ~ whilst no longer the most striking TVR, certainly the cleanest and most beautiful. I'd count it in my top 10 best looking cars ever (available in paperback form from..... 
)
If you've ever seen one running 17"s all round in the flesh........ stunning. (sigh)

Gary C afraid your wrong on that one............
The Chimaera up until its update did use MKIII Ford Fiesta lights
The Griffith used MKIII Vauxhall Cavalier lights. Now not sure that this is better
TVR just used some parts bin from other manufactuers, mainly on electrics and a few other bits light indicator stalks and wingmirrors (Citreon)
Cheers
