I constantly get my *** pounded by one of these around Evesham. Are you on here.

My sensible question is (as I have been accused of posting nothing of interest); does the yuk300 have 300 bhp. It certainly appears to have

Not much competition once away onto the M5 though

Surely he must be lurking on here somewhere. Most Saturdays / Sundays I encounter the guy and he always has a dabble at keeping up
Trouble is he usually does

No they don't (they have about 70% of that), and the best place to post your question is on the 'Was it you' forum.

They dont have 300bhp can do 300 mph .

If its a standard UK300 (215bhp) I would get you TVR looked at or get on a driving course, or buy a scoob .

Question

Rich uk300 - You kept up with a TVR Cerbera in your 'a bit modded' UK 300 on long duel carriage ways?
You know they do 0-100 mph in about 9 seconds and 180+ mph at the top end? You would need at least 400 bhp to keep up if he was really trying...

Question

I guess traction may be a problem in a Cerbera at lower speeds..., but he should still leave you (and almost every Scooby on the planet) on any reasonally long straight bits. Shouldn't he?

The chimera is easy meat on a track for a 280bhp classic WRX

Just my humble experience Held its own against cerebas too but at the end of the day its the different nuts behind the wheel that determines most outcomes....

Did you know that 95% of TVR's built are still on the road? The other 5% actually made it home.
