    Wow. As if these cars weren't crazy enough totally stock.

    Yes, this might make the TVR a better killing machine.

    Undeniably cool.
    Still, The TVR engine note is so distinct, can't help thinking I'd be a bit disappointed. But at least it's improved the reliability! That transmission tunnel/shifter disaster however... Just rip it out if it's a track day toy.

    I fucking hate it. The TVR engine is a thing

    That's my issue. The LS is great for cheap power.

    But it feels a bit sacrilegious, in the same way removing the V10 from a Viper feels.

    This thing and the insane straight 6 are a solid combo, and kinda what makes it what it is.

    How to make a TVR even more dangerous to drive.

    I like how they used the original struts for the wing to attach the new ones. Shame they didn't open the gills on top of the front wheels, although I do know they're closed because they'd spit stones into the windshield, but I think a mesh should solve that, as some Sagaris had them reopened.

    Could be aero related where they find allowing the air to escape eliminates some downforce causing them to have less control.

    They’ve made one of the coolest exhaust ever less cool.

    It might be to keep the sound directed away from noise meters at tracks so they don't get black flagged.

    Badass, but i see so many LS swaps. I'd prefer it with the stock engine.

    Is it reliable now?

    Absolutely stunning sheet metal. With an LS swap it's like a Corvette, but even more awesome.

    I know what you are saying, but I don't think there is any sheetmetal on this vehicle (or any recently modern TVR)

    Anyone know what that cylinder thing, with the blue hoses, is in pic 7?

    Catch can would be my guess, but not sure.

    Love my ls7.

    Always thought TVR made some really cool stuff.

    Mixed feelings about combining them.
