Good points, Racer 20.

So many people think power is everything, but it isnt. And, the TVR represents so much more than a fast 1/4 mile time, which is what the Viper's got.

Didn't you see my post? I think TVR's are great, because they answer to no-one. They have show-car interiors, look awesome, perform incredible, etc. I would rather have TVR over a viper anyday. I like the Viper, but I agree, it is for rich people. But which would you rather get into to go carve up your favorite twisty road??

Oh, the Griffith looks kinda like a fiat barchetta (not a bad thing)

Good post too, Chris.

Yeah, I have heard some great things about TVRs, but the only real "great" thing I consistently hear about Vipers is "It can do 0-60 in___". But, since they're pretty close here, the TVR wins.

Ah. I've made a difference. Now, without looking it up, what does TVR stand for? (hint: one word) If you win you get a Viper GTS ...not from me though.

I would take a TVR Speed 12 also, but that wasn't an option.

If you don't take a speed 12 over a viper...well, you don't even deserve to have your ass kicked.

I actually have only seen one or two pictures of the Speed 12, Odd looking car it is. I heard it could have been one of the fastest cars around. Another thing, TVR's are friken expensive! Some aren't bad but a top end Cerbera 4.5 or a Chimera could set you back 45-50K Pounds! That is about 100K CDN or about 75ish USD. There Super good cars and I think there only street legal, or available in Europe.

After seeing that interior, it makes any other car look like cheap shit. Something a child labourer would have in his car (if he/she had a car).
Heres a pic of some other TVR interiors.
Cerbera

Tuscan R

Tamora

Prototype Speed 12

And the best one, the Cerbera...



Gotta love 'em.

Whew! Plush. But, I wonder how much weight that interior is adding? Of course, in a speed 12 you really don't have to worry about a little extra weight, now do you?

I love the interior of the Speed 12. Simple, subtle, and really modern looking. And a GTS spanking a Speed 12, highly unlikely.

Somebody get some Speed 12 exterior pictures! All of TVR's interiors are amazing, it's what I want in a car. They also have the option of child seats which is strange yet cool.

Don't worry TVR makes some of the lightest sports cars in the world.
