150,000 in UK Money.

On the other end of the scale, a Mclaren F1 is slightly slower and is 400,000 more.

No contest

BTW - To those who like Mclarens - They are still great cars.

£150,000 Is a right bargain !!!

And how much would 150,000 UK money be in Australian money. It'd be easy if it was American money to convert, just double it. $2 American = $4 Australian

It's not very smart running such a car on the street. You'd probably overheat the engine and be uncomfortably clutching...

But..... You could knock people over at 20 paces with your exhausts !!!!!

Well £1 is equal to $2.46 so it's just a matter of adding it up.

I think it's something like $369000.

That would make a :mclaren: F1 $984000!

Yes :mclaren: is british, but they use :bmw: engines which spoil things a bit.

BTW - I've heard the sound a Speed 12 makes. It's AWESOME!

Have you seen the vid of Jeremy Clarkson and the white speed 12 where he slates it and says its not a supercar !!!

 

[jaw1]

It sounds like a god damn plane taking off !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TVRKing]

Dont you just love it?

 

[TVRKing]

I got it. He said they had fitted wheels to a thunderstorm.

He said it because it was a Le Mans car and it was geared to do "only" 185mph

He did say it was a supercar, but it wasn't a hypercar due to the above message

 

[jaw1]

It is funny when it pulls up next to him and the brakes squeal !!!!

 

[TVRKing]

Yeah that was good.

 

[jaw1]

Did you see the vid of the dodge, aston-martin, porsche ( I think) and the cerbera - when the beast whipped all their asses and nearly did a mile in less than 30 secs !!!!!!!!!
TVR's really do rule

 

[TVRKing]

Yes I got that one as well.

That's what got me into TVR's in the first place. I was gobsmacked.

What about that little caterham. It was funny!

BTW - the Cerbera was a 4.5 litre.

And I've also got a video where a another bog-standard 4.5 litre V8 was beaten by a modified Skyline(700 brake) by 1 second. studying the replay, I guessed that if the Cerbera was 4WD, it would have won, as it was catching up with the Skyline before they hit the finish line.

Thats the one with the Capri that kicks all their asses aint it !!
I 've seen the same Capri in action down the strip at Silverstone at Trax 2001 last year - Well fast !!

 

[TVRKing]

I want that Capri.

Its got Cossie engine and running gear and 4x4 trans and a host of other goodies as well I bet

 

[TVRKing]

Nitros. And the running gear is all 4x4. Gives about 500 brake.

 

[jaw1]

I would still prefer to have the cerbera anyway - over the capri and the skyline

 

[TVRKing]

Nice pic here.

 

[Dudebusta]

yeah TVR's kick ass but 370 000 is a bit much for my budget right now...id rather spend 80 000 on a GTS Commodore and blow the ring off it

 

[TVRKing]

they're 40,000 over here
