Yeah.

Although this has been set up by Topcats Racing, they run various racing cars in Endurance 24h races. They know how to make a car handle and this thing really does handle well! They have custom coilovers made for it and then corner weighted the car. So nice to drive!

I thought I'd share some photos of my new toy. I bought it to sit alongside the Z4M and to replace my Chimaera. The idea was to completely restore my Chimaera, new paintwork, new interior, new roof etc. But then I came across this, sold my Chimaera and bought it!
Very nice. How much did you pay for it?
£38,000.

Money well spent Sir!

Now for my next equally superficial question...What's the 0-60?

No idea. 3 seconds or so?

Sounds like time for a 'test drive'

How much does the car weigh?

I would practically be living in a tunnel with such an exhaust spitting fire and all.

Very nice car.

Very nice car.

It has a map setting called "tunnel mode" and it's soooo loud! Pops, bangs and flames constantly!

The previous owner spent an absolute fortune building it.

But even regular Griffiths are now fetching £30k!

There was close to 60k spent in that car....

That's absolutely stunning, my parents neighbour has a T350 which he has had from new and that's brutal enough (it now has 400bhp following an engine rebuild), it must be staggeringly exciting to drive.

Wow, I expected it to be much heavier.

Wow!

Absolutely love that, worth ever penny.

Have you bought it for tack work or just back lane fun?
