TVR Griffith 500 the Supersonic TVR

[LeRoiDelaRue]

My Bluey put out 275Bhp & 345Lbs ft and the slope on the rolling road was SO smoothe cos the Blue was so straight a motor

Miss You Bluey

Thank God for the Blue

[kpnutswales]

why the gay music? would rather listen to the TVR soundtrack

[hozihu]

does that tvr actuall has 500 bhp? or thats just the name they gave it???

[mandscat]

@hozihu Its not 500 Bhp - the 500 means 5-Litre/5000 cc engine.

[hozihu]

@mandscat thanks for the info

[hairyarsephillips]

@hozihu sorry only just seen this, like mandscat says not 500bhp but 5 Litres, the Griff in this video only bangs out about 280bhp/330lb ft,

[Nickthebassist01]

What the hell have you put in it to make it go like that?! A true beast of a TVR. :-D

[hairyarsephillips]

It's standard Nick, only 282 bhp.

[scarface115]

@hairyarsephillips if it has only 282hp it's not the griffith 500. the 500 has at the very least 320hp. this is probably the 4.3 or the 4.5 if it only has as much as you say it has. definitely not a 500.

[coopers66]

the yellow vette sure ain't no Z06, it's a C5 of some sort. One hell of a griffith though!

[PijnigeR]

Corvette C5 Z06 perhaps...?

[coopers66]

You're right, could be. Didn't consider that the C5 high end corvette was already called the Z06. I thought it still was ZR1, like it's C4 based predecessor, although currently the ZR1 is also a C6 model placed above the C6 Z06. I'm sorry if this sounds confusing :) Are you Dutch by the way (judging from your name)?

[PijnigeR]

Ja ik ben Nederlands:)

En van al die Corvette modellen weet ik wel. Ben altijd groot Corvette liefhebber geweest. van de C3 is ook een ZR1 versie overigens.

[StroboKahn]

What in the hell have you done to your Griff that it hauls that much ass...??? Kicking the F430 in the nuts was awesome to watch.!!

Lovin' TVRs and after watching this I just figured to get mine outta the shed and have a run ;o) Cheers

[BarneyEire0900]

Whats the song/music remix....I love it!!

[hairyarsephillips]

Supersonic by Jamiroquai.

[webeast12]

lol, couldnt you have fixed the camera to your dash, that vid makes me feel sea sick!

[klassiekerrally]

Cheers mate, did you see the SpringRun feature on PH? Are you one FaceBook BTW?

[hairyarsephillips]

Don't use them Dink, you can always find me on the tvrmonster site.

Cheers

[klassiekerrally]

A shame the alternator broke down last Oct 8th  . . . I really liked to have seen it perform on the 'Ring.

Great track there Uncle, JayKay that is ;)

Cheers, Dink.

[hairyarsephillips]

Yes it was, still one of the lads lent me one for Spa so I could at least get a few laps in.

see you later in the year Dink.

Cheers

[deanotvr]

as a kid i dreamt of having one now after rebuilding a smashed chimera and using it through summer think it`s just a glorified kit car but love them more feckin awesome

[tvr390se]

Congrats on the ownership. I'm lovin my tiv.

[v8griff]

Can you kindly refer me to these so called facts? a link perhaps? I'll be surprised if you bother. Correct I have a griff, read my reply below, and yes I know some may regard that as me being prejudiced, suppose I am, but I cannot undertsand why people who have never owned or indeed know little about these cars, continually slag them off. Tell me, what can you buy for less than 10grand which competes with a Rover engined TVR? (4 wheels not 2)

[oscoe]

E39 M5. More power (and granted more weight), but better balanced, more grip and will outhandle a griff on anything but a bone dry smooth continental strip! Real world point to point in the UK, with the same driver the M5 wins every time. Needs an exahust upgrade to sound half as good as a griff tho!!

[v8griff]

Entitled to your own opinion Bud, but you'll find many disagree with you. £ to performance nothing comes close (on 4 wheels). If you don't like the roar of a classic V8 get yourself a Reliant Robin.

[v8griff]

What do you base that question on? fact? don't think so. In 16 years of TVR ownership I've been let down twice (once my fault, not the cars). Ill conceived statements like that are typical from folk who haven't a feckin clue.

[monV8ster]

I would take that TVR over any modern day Ferrari, Ferrari's look ugly now, not since the 50s/60s has Ferrari built anything as gorgeous as the Griffith 500, take a look at hairyarses new film (beautiful car) and tell me ferrari build anything as beautiful as that now, I don't think so.

[GRIFFV8500]

its not hard to drive in a straight line is it, even for Ferrari drivers. just face it, it got blown away.

[Rusty1Jack]

cerbera has trouble keeping up with the Griff around the ring, both cars sound fantastic,

[joojoosasa]

richblingmore, you know nothing of the veyron, NOTHING, you only like it cause it has the rep of fastest production car, you don't actually know anything about it, until you look it up on the net then copy and paste onto the comment board...

[richblingmore]

yeah nice but the fastest car on this planet is the Bugatti Veyron

[Nickthebassist01]

Or the Tvr Cerbera Speed 12 ;-) Also, back to the vid, I detect a slightly dodgy start for the Tuscan....I have seen them accelerate al ot faster, are you sure he didn't mess it up in the Tuscan?

[monV8ster]

Is that Griff Standard, it just leaves that Ferrari F430 for dead, I just have to get my hands on a Griff 500.

[monV8ster]

I just love your videos, I want that Griff.

[GRIFFV8500]

Supersonic.
