996 GT3 (mk2) or TVR Sagaris

Where did the picture of the green Sag come from? I work for the company advertised on the nose. "Dextra"

The Winstanley racing Sagaris, was running very well in British GT a few years ago with the S6 engine, then had an LS put in it. It may have been sold after that (can't remember!)

Have you looked at any yet?

I'm living with my best friend at present who is a Sagaris owner and we have been to see a few though he is working overseas at present but should be home in New Year when we will start looking again.

Much as I like TVR's...is the Sagaris vfm for the performance they offer?, never driven one but have driven a Tamora, T350 and although not slow were not as brutal as expected.

I'm not after out right performance but more a rewarding driving experience without driving aids and I think this is where the Gt3 and Sagaris excel.

Just used pistonheads search "racing-track Sagaris"

It is, unless you go for the M600 version, costing £100,000 or the like!

Edit - The Noble can be modified for bigger power far more easily than the Sagaris though...

That green Sagaris did well against a 611Bhp Noble.

What were the ones you looked at like? You obviously didn't rate them!?

The Noble owner is Hollowpockets on here who also has a Sagaris. You should ask his view as he certainly knows how to peddle on track.
Alpinestars also has a Noble, Sagaris and possibly a GT3 or two so worth getting in touch with him too.

Head says 911 (marginally), heart says Sagaris.

The Sagaris is far more 'special' to me. Looks, sound, rarity, just more special in every way.

My budget would just about buy me a boggo early manual 996, were I to have the same choice you have Id likely go TVR every time.

Wouldn't want to have to depend on the TVR (or the 996 really), but aren't parts scarce? If you pranged the Sagaris (or if it sh*t itself mechanically), how many bits are actually available?

I'd Google images of the Sagaris and enjoy them on the same level as pretty much any other supercar... that probably says more than any other comment I could make.
