Carl Hansen's Rover V8 in his TVR Tuscan produces 553kW and delivers 709Nm of torque, but in a RRC what good would it be?

Ron.
A lot of fun with the right drivetrain I reckon!

cheers, DL

I think you will - we could try it mine first just to make sure!
Specs?

Specs ? what specs ? the only spec that counted was 13.82@101MPH quarters in 4322lb car on straight LPG . Still thats with a 2.1 60ft , a decent 60 ft would do high 12's . Just a old holden 308/355 stroker , with even early cast heads and still idle with 18 inshg (you need decent idle vac to make LPG work !!) the interesting thing to me that even with better than 400hp/300KW at 5000 rpm it was 425ft lbs which is 580 nm . Makes you think twice when considering that 3.0 TDV6 is supposed to knock out 600nm , amazing what 15lbs of boost can do !!!
