Mr macdeb, have you considered getting help?
An ejector seat and a couple of parachutes would be a help biggrin

I can't speak about driving modified versions of the Chimaera or the Cerbera 4.5
But in the same way that I can swear to you, from new there is no way you could compare the performance of a 4L Chimaera with a 5L Chimaera, there is no way you could compare the 5L Chimaera with a 4.5 Cerbera.


I got out of my relatively new 5L and jumped into a Red Rose 4.5 for a test drive at my dealer's.
The difference in acceleration from 0-100 and beyond was staggering.
The difference in handling was staggering.

It didn't make me want to sell my Chimaera, but it made me want one badly.
If only I hadn't been forced to decide instead on the Volvo C70 Cabriolet for safely transporting my children...
Sometime life just isn't fair banghead

Yes, but our 500bhp engine will do 100,000 miles without needing an oil change smile - and yours will have required 20 services.

and if I hear one more person whine about us removing the AJP I think I will video throwing it off a bridge just to fk you all off smile
make sure you throw the "Cerbera" and the "TVR" badges away as well coz what you got is a kit car. Anyway why are you worried about servicing costs, your dad does yours. wink

440 yards. I will beat you 24 times before I need a refill.
so you got 484bhp for a few minutes then what 220bhp for the rest of the day, and all the way home. Sounds like a real drivers car. bow

ideaWilly wavers in this class should meet up at Santa Pod to test their equipment - it's the only place suitable when all you can safely do is point and squirt? hehe

Nah, straights are just a means of getting to the next bend, Cadwell is where any shoot out should happen, timed over 30 mins see which car covers the most laps and use that as a measure.

I would be itching to attend that:-)

Me too, and I only have 300 bhp at my disposal. But I will be in the same group as you this time, if I ever get my act together and book. Last time I joined the middle group, and never got overtaken all day. Very wide, these Chimaeras hehe
