Not much help I'm afraid, but here goes.
I did own a R75 2.5 - 177bhp.
I've test driiven the ZT190 - 188bhp (190ps).
My brother drives a R75 - 2.0 V6 with 150 ps.
For me the ZT & R75 2.5 V6 difference was not really apparent. So in your case to drop to 160 from my 177bhp should be OK. Also, I have to say my brother is very satisfied with his R75 150ps 2.0.
The one thing you are buying with the ZT is a very good handling car over the R75, which in itself is very good.
However, whatever you drive you are going to be disappointed, after owning that monstrous TVR!
Finally, you mention saving £2000. Have you tried the dealers, they are giving discounts on the ZT's, then you won't have to make the sacrifice. My local dealer is worth at least a phone call. Listed on the main site are my recommended dealers (under Links).
