TR7

[jgf]

Has anyone created a TR7 or TR8 for GTR2 or GTL?

Funny you should mention one of those, I've just (15 mins ago) been watching some SMRC classic races and Andrew Graham has a very warm TR7 V8 for quite a few races.

Stock TR7 was grossly underpowered (especially the US version with the big ugly bumpers and engine suffocated by emission standards, about 80hp pushing a 2200lb car), so all racing TR7s used a V6 or V8. The latter were all designated "TR7 V8". This led to the TR8, factory built with the Rover 3.5L V8 of around 150hp, but easily taken to 180-200hp and still have a good street car. (Recently posted a photo of a Finnish TR7 V8 with 260hp TVR 5.0L V8 and BMW 6spd gearbox; that must be fun.)

In GTR2 I have a TR3, TR4, Spitfire, and GT6; would like to add a TR6 and TR7.
