I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt and posting in the "awesome" thread.  Saw this car while out and about today and I have no idea what it is. It looked like a shorter 512 TR at first but I don't think it's a Ferrari at all now. Sadly this is the best shot I got.  It says "M-2" on the back and the badge on the nose looked like a stylized "P E". Any ideas?Panty Saluter fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Oct 28, 2012 |

Good guess but the Venturi is much rounder and the cockpit is bigger...at least everything in GIS was.

Well that would explain the PE but none of those pictures look like the car I saw. Unless the one I saw had a widebody kit...

Devyl posted:It looks like they're trying to just stuff everything into & onto the motor. For space and weight savings, this is a brilliant idea... But the first time you have to do more than change the oil it looks like a nightmare to tear into. Who said changing the oil would be easy?

Kill-9 posted:It is. I've never seen one in Austin. The driving season for such a car is short here. November-March is about it. and then only if it isn't raining. Other than that it's too drat hot without A/C. You native Texans are such sissies about the heat.

emf posted:Maybe I'm the only one, but I think that was just stereotypical German sterility and emotionless engineering boasting. Since everyone is already making sex analogies, I will say it is the automotive equivalent of a gynecological exam. Yep, it's just you. Is that V10 turbocharged? If not, what kind of compression is it running to get those flames?

You Am I posted:The idea of a TVR with that much power and knowing that TVR at that time hated electronic aids like traction control and ABS as well as airbags, sends a shiver down my spine. Knowing your luck you'd be hitting top speed as you realise that Trevor forgot to tighten up that left front suspension arm properly in the factory.
