    You want to talk dream cars - check out this one

    So I downloaded a shitload of top gear vids off my schools campus DC networks and frankly I just about creamed my pants for the TVR Sagaris. It fulfills everything I would want in a dream car. Small, light, agile, fast as fuck, rediculous styling, the works. This car is literally my cream dream of a car, only not in orange, but that can be changed.

    0-60 in 3.8 seconds! Fastest non-supercar Top Gear has ever tested. Same price as a Vette Z06. Im in love.

    Check out the video, you cant help but deny its a hell of a car.

    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

        Sweet. That's exactly the kind of car I love, minus the extravagant styling.


        Keep it slideways!!

            Even if there were I'm sure it would require some modifications to meet DOT Federalization standards. (Like Air bags)

            Regardsless.. that car is tits!

              Its a dream car, Im not thinking about logistics. Im sure you could have one imported somehow. Id probably try and do it illegally so I wouldnt have to put any lame US crap in there to ruin the fun.

              z06 is one hell of a car, but everything about the TVR just screams WOW! I love how the hood rumbles are you fly along. 400 hp, rediculously light body, everything about it is insane, even the sideways tailpipes.

              400 hp 333 LB FT. 4l V6
              Only 2300+ lbs!

              Thats almost 1000 lbs lighter than the z06. lighter in my mind is most definately better. That and the styling of this TVR just blows me away, something about it just screams "Look at me, Im rediculously fast and serve no other purpose". Ill sacrifice the additional .2 seconds 0-60 and about 15 mph top speed. Like Im ever going to go 200 mph.

                Blah, blah, blah.... It's british, make sure you get your wholesale pricing on fire extinguishers...


                Just being an ass, I know, but the Brits definetly know how to build an explosive automobile (pun intended)...

                  Me too.
                  Impressive numbers from the TVR but personally I don't like the styling. Fender vents that don't vent? Those sideways exhaust tips.... ummm what?

                    I'd take the TVR just for the shock value. I see Z06s everyday, but a TVR? Comprable acceleration, much lighter, much more agressive, similar price, hands down the Sagaris.

                      IIRC it's a 4L I6, and it didn't sound like a V from the video

                        The Engine is trying to escape from under the Bonnett.

                        I d/l this episode last year, watch it when I want to see some fun driving. I like that car. TVR should send us this car sans an engine so it could be considered a kit car.

                            I watch the episode in which he raced James in his airplane but I never saw them actually put it through the track? Or any acceleration tests. Although 1000hp in a 3500lb car with 4wd you would assume its fast.
