253 on La Sarthe. You need to raise the front suspension a bit and fit a wing set to min downforce. You also need to fit a supercharger.
putting a wing with minimum downforce gives it a better top speed then with no wing at all?
I bought this car....what a waste of money... thing handles like it has marshmallows for tires even with some upgrades and tuning. Certainly didn't handle that way when I saw them testing on the BBC show Top Gear.
incorrect
While the car is less than great out of the box, i am turning 6:12's on the Nordschelief w/ my Speed 12 tune.
TVR
Cerbera Speed 12
Fully tuned to:
1027 - Horsepower
856 - Ft-Lb of torque
1020 - Kg
This car was tuned for the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and despite considerable effort is still a beast to keep on the road. I drive using a Logitech G27 and am only beginning to tame the massive rear wheel torque. 1st and 2nd gears are basically useless; the car only really begins to hold traction in 3rd gear.
If you can keep it on the road the blistering speed will best most any road car. Front end responsiveness is still not quite where i want it to be; however, letting off the accelerator in corners helps turning significantly. I figure the massive forward thrust is pushing the car so much that the front end simply isn't as planted as it needs to be at higher speeds (despite front aero being maxed).
As far as drag racing goes, this car is also a winner. Dropping the clutch in 3rd gear burns the tires all the way to 120mph at which point you will be ahead of anything but a Veyron or highly tuned GT-R. Above 120 the Speed 12 pulls away from everything (race cars included).
I am by no means an expert tuner. This is simply a setup that works at the moment. I really love this car and plan to spend a lot more time trying to perfect the setup. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
THE TUNE
AERO
Front: 30
Rear: 69
TRANSMISSION
Top Speed: 267 Mph
LSD
Initial: 25
Accel: 35
Brake: 20
SUSPENSION
Ride Height: -28 Front, -26 Rear
Spring Rate: 16 Front, 13.5 Rear
Dampers (ext): 7 Front, 8 Rear
Dampers (comp): 7 Front, 8 Rear
Anti Roll: 6 Front, 5 Rear
Camber: 2.7 Front, 1.1 Rear
Toe: 0.11 Front, -0.02 Rear
BRAKES
Front: 7
Rear: 5
Last thought: be mindful of your speed, the brakes are key to driving this car well. When i first got the Speed 12 i though the responsiveness was horrible; until i realized i was entering corners 50mph faster than any of my other super cars.
