How bad would it be? 99 Z28 A4 (stock'ish, well totally stock actually, it's Euro spec but has had a different exhaust fitted. Guestimates are they produced 350-360bhp at the engine as they where apparently tuned more agressivly than the US models)
from a roll (40-50mph) against a TVR Tuscan?

Well if your 100 times more likely to run into a tvr then you would think it would of happend by now. And since you spend so much time on a site for a car that you dont own...one would think that you could at least figure this out on your own. maybe use google once in a while instead of trying to casually be an *** on this site.

0-60 3.x seconds
0-100 8.3 seconds
I've seen the smaller engined 3.6 litre S6 T350c will pull several (like 4+) car lenghts on a C6 Z51 over the 1/4 mile.
I also see a lot of other TVR's, either S6's or V8's with 240-440bhp
Reckon I'll get my *** handed to me, but sure it will be fun none the less.
Think, I may have to look into a few minor mods. Well if you call a blower a minor mod, lol.

We all know how reliable the TVR is 
We all know how reliable the TVR is Although, I don't think they are actually any worse than Porsche or Ferrari in reality. Just they cost 1/2 the price. So the media seems to think they should be more reliable?
I like them alot, but wouldn't swap my Z28 for one.

Look, ya jumped his butt for posting on this forum before checking to see that he HAS an LS-1, right? He had a legitimate question about running a car I'm not , and most posters here, are not familiar with. Hence my reply. Did I misread your post?
I think this was yours: Well if your 100 times more likely to run into a tvr then you would think it would of happend by now. And since you spend so much time on a site for a car that you dont own...one would think that you could at least figure this out on your own. maybe use google once in a while instead of trying to casually be an *** on this site.
That's why I called ya a dweeb. As far as I'm concerned, this site is for car enthusiest (sp?) not just LS-1 owners. Anyways, it don't mean nothin', just the internet right? BTW, that TVR is one bad assed looking car.
