no actually it IS an M Roadster as the numberplate quite clearly says "M Roadster" on it :rolleyes:

M Roadster is Z3 shell with but with a load more bhp.

I'd like to take this opportunity to confirm that is not the case. The removal of a rev limiter is not going to allow another 63mph

TOP SPEED LIMITER not rev limiter lmao (also fyi most German cars are fitted with a 155mph top speed limiter)

So happy to see some quality British engineering being mentioned here, love that Ariel Atom (watched Top Gear too) 0-60 in 2.9s, the Morgan is awesome too but i gotta say TVR is the one for me :D

if you remove the limiter it was supposed to do 250mph, no one has ever confirmed this.

It was speed tested at the Nardo speed track in Italy, Vauxhall/Lotus said that 180 MPH was being optimistic.

The car being a 3-litre, it's more likely it would have done between 180-195 MPH with the speed restriction removed.

Radish?

I want my car to be fast, but i am also in love with the new vette and the new viper srt-10 coupe. ive always wanted a mitsu galant vr4 to. also, im a big fan of the ferrari enzo, and id also enjoy owning a dino. those are probably the two best ferraris you could ever own. then there is the porsche carerra gt... that thing is amazing. Oh oh, and an old chevelle would be awesome.

in the mean time ill be content with my mitsu eclipse gsx... which is getting a forced performance green turbo this summer and will probably be running 11s.... :D

the easiest way you can tell the R34 from the R33 is by the front lights, the top right of the R34s go up towards the outside of the car, while the top of the R33s are flat ;)

now thats a nice car

"KR" stood for "King of the Road" - a name that was supposedly taken from General Motors. The GT-500 KR used Ford's new Cobra Jet GT engine opposed to the 428 ci engine used in the the '67 and '68 GT500's. The 335-hp claimed by Shelby is most likely a gross understatement. The number given by Shelby was to lower insurance costs. A total of 933 GT-500KR fastbacks were produced along with 318 convertibles.

I need a whole fleet of cars to be happy.

In my basement garage, I need on one side sport cars, another lux, and on the other I need my SUVs.

I want the stuff no-one else has. You wont find an escalade in my garage.

I need the cranberry-colour 745i with machine-gun turrets.

not to be condersending but there 3.6 Twin Turbo with 376bhp standard, i've been in one on the M25 round london and it's possible to do 176mph in it so 180mph wouldn't be hard, as for higher speeds they have been hit in modified versions. so i wouldn't be suprised if 250mph it possible, however i've only heard that there is a limiter and that the final gear is possible of doing well over 200mph. *shrugs* either way it's lengendary and i'll love it till the day there gone.
