Default need some help here

I got a 2002 ws6 with a ms3 cam, it doesn't seem like it is running right, like losing power in top end, any suggestions?

Im no expert but this kinda sounds like you have 3.73 or maybe more like 4.11 rear gears.

Does it accelerate like mad but no top speed or what? More info would help.

im not sure what gear ratio it is, it leaves third gear rubber marks with dr's, it doesn't seem like it is accelerating like it should be, it feels like it but when it comes to you racing it don't, like i thought the speedometer was slow but obviously it's not

Being a driver gives you things to hold on to. You don't feel the G's you are pulling as a driver as you would as a passenger. Let a friend or family member drive the **** outta it and see how it feels. You'd also get his/her opinion on if there is something wrong or if you are just too used to the pull on your TVR Sagaris.
