I dunno, the TR6 powered cars are not bad either. In another life I restored a lot of TVRs, and had a chance to do two of the V8 vixen bodied cars. OH WOW!!!! As rude and crude as TVRs are, those cars were rocket sleds that actually cornered. I put a lot of miles on one of those cars, and I can tell ya, nobody ever wanted to street race that car. EVER. When we finished the car, the owner went out with me on a road test. He was leaving traffic lights in third gear, not first. When I got him to select first, and stand on it, it scared him so badly that he sold the car. David Gerald TVR bought it, and shipped it off to england. Too bad. All that said, it would be a lot of work to convert it properly. The V8s used a salisbury diff out of a Jag, and driveshafts and half shafts are similarly beefed up.
