Yes----but:)-----the UK E-type had a different rear end ratio than the US ones
did and would hit the 150 mph "realistically". Was that true of the UK TR6?

Tom,
While I wouldn't even pretend to suggest that the TR6 is in the same league as
the E-Type, it should be noted that the UK version of the TR6 had the FI setup
and 150+ HP, not the 105 HP carb setup that the US received, so it is
understandable that the author has a higher opinion of the car's performance
capabilities than you or I do.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the same magazine that had an article recently
that said the TR6 was a great compromise to the E-Type by giving up all the
inherent problems of the E-Type and gaining almost equal performance of the
E-Type.
That kinda killed the credibility for me.
