TVR Cerbera Vs. Nissan Skyline...

[enzo@af]

It's Chevy's ZL1 CONCEPT! Actually, I remember it having a faster 0-60 time, but either way...just a concept.

[R35]

Yes a Concept car, guess in that case I can do 0-60 in 2 sec at a top speed of 275 MPH, but that's just a concept I'm working on for my new Jet propelled Razor :finger:

I swear, coming into a SKYLINE forum and claim to be a SKYLINE lover and then blowing smoke is just too much.

Omega, I think I shall proclaim thee "Human Torch":flamer:

[enzo@af]

Well, they've done MUCH faster than 3.0. They had a camaro that was basically just their "fun", I guess...0-60 in 2.2! But, it was shown up by the 1.9 mustang that was also in the same mag.

R33, I've also driven the 4.5 Chimera, and it handles great. But I must admit that I had to counterstear A LOT. Teh Cerbera is different though. But all TVRs take skill and experence to drive. They are more "manly" than the GT-R. The GT-R has all kinds of gizmos. It's no surprise that you can take the corners in it faster than the 4.5 BTW, did you drive it on the road or track?

[R33]

Racer, I drove it for about 30km on one of those bumpy and winding road. The front felt too long and heavy and understeered quite a bit. I took the highway on the way back and it was pouring. Quite a handful in the rain.
I agree that it is more "manly"...whatever it may mean! All about raw power. I like the power delivery..instant, responsive and always eager. A bit like the Testarrosa. I have never driven it on the track but I think the handling would be awful on the track. But I could imagine going into corners slowly. Coming out of it is a different story altogether I suppose.
Having said so, the Griffith and Chimera are well in my wanted list. Can't resist that V8 sound and power delivery. The road tax though, would kill me every year!

I hear ya! lol But atleast you don't have to deal with importing and shit there. Man, I wish I still lived in England sometimes. TVRS, STi WRXs, EVOs, good god man... Oh well, Vettes and Vipers will have to do.

[R33]

Vettes and Vipers just won't do! Guess when it comes to TVRs and Lotus, I am lucky. They are assembled in M'sia (for Far East market). But road tax for a 4.5 litre job is almost USD 2 k per year! Add insurance and general maintainance to that....I'd rather spend on my GTR all those money

[Racer 20]

Damn you get Lotus too?!! Lucky bastard... :smoker2:

Skyline GT-R is a Legend
TVR Cerbera is also well known... for its poor built

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Fix It Again Tony

Need one for TVR:finger:

Its true that most if not all TVR's for built quality are pretty shite for the money, nice looking cars though.

Same goes for its v8 as its not really the best in the world, and this comes from a dealer and tuner I know, were better when they were based on the rover v8 and the rover v8 is based on the buick v8.

Besides the looks I get in this country in the skyline are worth just as much as driving a ferrai, as the skyline I find to be quite rare apart from japan.

Also with regards to 0=60 the Europe based Ford RS200 using the cosworth turbo power plant mid mounted did a 0=60 in 2.3 secs and I believe to still be a record?

[GTS-4 Ben]

Good luck holding on to the V8 Powered go cart anyway...
As for build quality yeah I say it's bad, looks all nice inside with their fancy custom bits, but everywhere alse

A friend here had a TVR, not sure the model was a while ago now, it honked though.
Friend worked on one, had to have a dry sump as it was having problems..

As for price..

[200sx]
