TVR has publicy said many times they are in no rush to go to the US, they have no reason to, they already sell plenty of cars over here.

Also, the restyling was to meet race regulations. The front grill had to be 80% of the cars width. I have yet to find any other official information on the Speed 12, but if you check out the "Speed 12" thread there is a full description of the methods my friend used to get an estimated 0-60 time for this car of 2.42 sec.

I've heard the racing Speed 12's had the power restricted to fit racing rules, and that the roadcars had up to 150bhp more. Of course, this is all hearsay, I'm unsure of the truth in it.

There are GT restrictions, this could be true. That is why the cars top is 80% of the body width, so why not an HP restriction to make it fairer?

From what I have read in official writtings(Magazines, interviews) the race spec engine was capable of 800 bhp with the least restrictive restrictor plate. The versions that actually raced though were limited to between 660-680 bhp. As far as I have been able to find the only difference according to TVR between the street version engine and the race version engine is the street car doesn't have the restrictor plate, and has some tweaked engine mapping to optimize the added air flow.
