Whoa, I see this thing is creating a lot of expectations, and of course it will meet them all. I just don't envy the S owners which will have to wait almost a year to have the TVS 900 once they see videos of this monster

As for me, with my humble "justacooper", I'll be wathcing the show from the sidelines

I love how the GP brakes, very predictable. I hope not to lose that same linear braking capability. We are going to be working on a better ducting system here in the future. I've had some good info given from some other track guys and we will be testing them next yr.

I think the new ZR1 has made sure of that. BTW, is Eaton going to stop production of the M45? Just wondering.

jw, how much torque steer is there, or with the quaife differential is there almost none. That would be awesome, but since ive never seen a video of a mini with over 240 hp driving hard, i was kinda skeptical about 350+. oh and one other thing, ever thought about contacting top gear? lol, i think they would love it on the streets of willow or some other track.
