If I remember... The Passenger seat was an optional extra!, and (if it was opted for) the passenger got a grab handle on the dash to hold on to!.. :D

As far as I can remember, the roll cage sticks right in front of the passenger seat and passenger side fo the 'screen.

The Veyron having 4wd and over twice the weight.....
IIRC the car is running 'softer' cams with 880bhp, lost 80bhp or so from the more aggressive cams :cool: (trying to remember from the EVO article I read ages ago)

Damn those subtle 880 cams! :D ;)
 
As much as i love TVR, id always think twice about getting one. My dads mate nearly died in a crash in one, and he has a speech inpediment now.

You can have an accident and die in ANY car.

Anyways back to lighter hearted matters. That is the ONLY car in the world where an EJECTOR SEAT fitted would not be seen as a gimmick or out of place :eek:

The car snap oversteered on a dual carriageway and ended up in a spin on the wrong side of the road. The guy was driving like a %&*$ but you'd never expect that to happen in a straight line.

No you can't, TVRs have the bare minimum of safety feature - no ABS and there sure is no Airbags in those suckers. They are for big hairy chested men that eat guns and spit bullets :D

The same can happen with any powerful rwd motor if driven incorrect. Someone on these forums managed it in a Supra TT iirc.

Brings back memories of GT indeed.

Want to see that versus a Veyron in a straight line - no competition
