I once ran across a story about a TR4a on a oval tyrack with a Corvette and a Porsche, in short It went on to say that even though the other cars were faster, the Triumph beat them because it could corner faster.
I am kicking myself for not buying it now. It was a a swap meet, one of those guys who sells ad's and stories saved over the years.
anyone know this artical?

I wish I knew this article too. I have the Car and Driver with the first road test of the TR4A irs. Also, I just picked up at hershey a Road & Track owners survey of the TR4/4A/250. Overall the owners loved driving the cars and drove them hard, but the build quality issues were driving them crazy.

saw it again and I forgot it was not a 4a it was the 250, I had a tr250 as my first triumph and remembered seeing it.
it essentially said, this is the tr250 that beat the shelby gt that beat the corvette that beat the porsche 911...
