202mph

managed 202mph on Friday, first run was 197.97mph and the engine was at over 7000rpm's.

We changed the tyres for slightly higher profile and got 202mph.
i think it will go faster, but i have run into gearing issues.

Didn't you read my post? I was hoping it was a road course. Over here, it's rare to have a straight long enough to reach 200 MPH even in the rare case that one of us would have a car that could do 200 MPH. What you've achieved if freakin' awesome.

I still maintain that you sir, possess my dream car. A cerbera + that kind of V8 mayhem. Daddy want.

We also need, more pics, and more vids! I really wish we could get TVRs over here, such a beautiful car.

The music finally goes away at 3:30.

The only music I want to hear is from the 8 barking pistons under the "bonnet".

Oh ... your steering wheel is on the wrong side.
