Post subject: | High speed record for a TVR Chimaera |
As far as i know the fastest recorded top speed for a Chimaera is 156 at Vmax which is a rolling start onto a 2 mile straight. This weekend I took my car to a TVRCC event called the Big Northern Gathering at Sherburn Aerodrome. All we had was a standing start to a braking point set about 0.8 mile. On my first run i saw 149 on the Tomtom running NA. On the second run with a tickle of a 50 shot i saw 152. I had a young passenger in the car and he filmed this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgUnkm3Z ... ture=share Later in the afternoon i ran a 70 shot all the way and saw 158 well before the braking point and touching 6000 rpm in 5th. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVGfSmtx ... ture=share The car had only done 40 miles on the recent engine build before travelling to Sherburn so I am relieved as well as chuffed it held out and performed. A longer diff, a little more gas and Vmax at Bruntinthorpe are on the cards. Who knows how fast |

Yeah ive weighed up the numbers. Reckon on a half decent surface could do 0-160 in about 25 seconds with still a modest amount of the good stuff. I think the 2 stages with 100 + 50 would be more than enough |
