    Someone on another forum told me this but an e-mail confirmed the weight.

    No, I will not subject myself to any form of "Egg Nog" testing since it appears that you all selectively apply the test to particular people. If you are going to let one member spit in your face, all of us should be able to. Just believe me, they emailed me.

    Btw the Leyland 4.4 litre V8 including cast iron exhaust manifolds weighs in at a modest 342 lbs IIRC.

    Its fairly straighforward to enlarge these lightweight engines to 5.8 litres, with more upsize available

    i think the main problem is that so much of the wieght is so far foward for that particular example

    Is that for the standard F430?

    What about the Scud?

    What does that weight include?

    Why wouldn't you want to show absolutely undeniable proof in support of your statement?
    Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
    Engine torque is an illusion.

    I think the fact it has a giant iron block would account for some of that colosal weight...

    Remember, you can't argue a point simply from the view of an American - We aren't exactly the vast majority here.

    Sorry, but The Sagaris is still up in the £40K region.

    £25K will get you a T350/Tuscan 2 S (not the 'vert though), Cerbera 4.5LW, a late Tamora, T350C/T.

    Why wouldent you when asked?

    You know you shouldent ask anyone or anything to do somthing that you wouldent do yourself, Its demeaning and shows a lack of morals.

    But past that It would be good if he posted the actual proof of this.

    Who cares? You still can buy a TVR. Just one that's not as awesome
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    You claimed something as accurate and then wouldent back youself up its the same thing. you kept saying that he prove it when it wasnt his claim to prove youll be constantly at null argument in philosophy with stuff like that.

    And if you read what i wrote youll se i agreed with you on the 2nd point

    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.
