My mate popped around today to show me his Sagaris with its new Mosler LS7 lump in it. It is still somewhat of a work in progress and needs quite a lot of work around engine mapping, breathing, gearing and suspension/brakes but from the few miles we did I can confirm it is, without question, the quickest road car I have been in for many a time.

You can find out more details about it here: http://www.topcatsracing.com/2010/05/ls7-sagaris-is-out-on-first-test-run……-to-spain/#more-781

I have a video of the car I will try and upload too, just pulling away from my property but JESUS it has a sound to scare Tyson and to feel it pull around a line of cars as we extended it today was breathtaking. Currently and though FAR from running full horses it is doing 140mph in around 12 seconds but it now needs its suspension sorting as it is, to say the least, lively on the road getting wheel spin without too much issue in the first 3 gears, which are also in need or sorting as the ratios are all wrong. The current 3rd gear is closer to where 1st needs to be but by god the thing shifts!

NB. Can someone let me know if these pics contain EXIF data as I need to remove location type stuff as they were taken with my phone and I don't know how to check??
 
What TVR should have done. Epic car with an engine to match.

Spectaflair silver is a funky colour too :)

No roof bulge? that's odd!

There is EXIF data attached to the pics Housey, but certainly with the Exif Viewer add-on for Firefox, I'm not seeing any geotagging data.

From the first image :).
 
As I say, I don't know if the Exif Viewer doesn't see the geotagging data, so hopefully someone can confirm for sure that there isn't anything :).
 
In the Flickr thingy it gives me the option to not give it I think I ticked it. Having looked at the photo's I took it's there, but it has around 6 different flavours of where I live, so not that accurate.

Might want to scrub out the numberplate too, if you are concerned about privacy etc :)
 
Jebus that's positively crackers, love it!

Can't wait for the video, can barely imagine how that things shifts.
 
The video is not on road footage, we only drove at legal road limits so I didn't think it would interest anyone....honest. The one I have is it starting and pulling off my drive.
