Photowirral - You re totally wrong I'm afraid. They didn't make an Extreme, the ZT 500 is owned by the MG Owners Club and the ZT 385 was due to be unveiled towards the end of 2005.
The ZT 260 is a superb car (I have one) and whilst its not perfect, it is a superb car to drive and handles superbly.

Anyone know the song??? Please i need to know lol!

They developed a ZT Extreme which was 385BHP, but they cut corners due the usual 2000's Rover lack of funding, and it was absolutely awful to handle. They needed to do a LOT more work than just increase the power of the engine, and in the end, they got it to a decent stage, but the entire rear chassis would have needed redeveloping to attain a confident public release. They actually sold a production standard prototype to an MG club, but where it is now is anyones guess. Shame!

Dreadnought in Scotland will fit a supercharger that turns the ZT 260 into a ZT 400.

I wouldn't have told TVR that.... The Modular was easily ready for Euro IV compliance and took very little tweeking to get to this standard. The original Rover V8 was getting difficult to tweek for the burgeoning emissions standards and was finally replaced with the BMW V8 (used in Range Rovers), and consequently Jaguar AJ-V8. MCT engineering now holds a license to build limited quantities for aftermarket and replacement use.

Didn't they make a ZT375 too. It's basically a 260 with a HUGE supercharger and power not shy of 375bhp.

The Mustang engine produced more power, and the rover v8 was over 50 years old now
