it probably is like that Pontiac Prowler. No a/c or anything like that; all the power to the wheels, and no weight. I was thinking the same thing with Swordfish! It was on last night. It was pretty funny when the hacker guy gets in the drivers seat and's like "i dont know how to drive a stick."....then he learns in 5 seconds in an 800hp car. haha

The speed 12 was made for the 24 hr races. It explains the whole car in GT3. There are 2 TVR speed cars. The speed 6, with a v10 I think, was a limited production car and the speed 12 was a fully built racecar pretty much street legal.

LOL! That's what I was thinking. In fact I had never heard of the Speed 12 before playing GT3. I've probably got a decent bit of my exotic car knowledge from GT3!

That works out to be 1 hp / 2.75 lbs.
The Enzo pushes 1 hp / 4.5 lbs.
