I saw one only last week, parked by the side of the road, bonnet open, steam and smoke pouring out!

This could be a bit of a dumb post, but as usual i'll post it anyway[:D]

A few of us at work have bought newish cars, most of them are pretty rapid such as a SEAT cupra thing, BMW 330 a Ford Focus ST and an Audi TT. Getting more power into a TR7 is reletively straight forward as is getting it to handle like a go kart but how far can bolt on goodies actually get you when it comes to keeping up with the above cars when it comes to performance and handling? At what point would you say you'd need to strengthen the rear suspension mounts, add a watts linkage etc etc. Any stories of that time you made mincemeat of a Ferrari or porsche would be ace!

In short, driving on the public roads quickly is more about lack of sanity and limited visibility more than anything.

And then there's the driver too.

In short I feel that a TR7 can be made to hack it very well. Handling wise it might not grip as well, but would probably be more fun than most modern FWD stuff.
