Nope, still for sale! Maybe this article and the subsequent edition of C&SC magazine will generate some response! Great video though, weird to see my car being driven by someone I don't know!

Hard to not love a viper on its looks alone, the rare factor in this country added to its ability it's an amazing car with a great deal if character and history in its pedigree. The modern cobra with shelby at the heart if it's creation, known for his chicken farming and beating ferrari at le mans! The viper and it's ring times breaking boundaries and making others push harder for the crown. Owning a viper is pleasure and will probably one of my collection I hold for a long time and many a track day smile

With near constant sunshine, fabulous roads and gorgeous scenery, it's very tempting!

Well just wasted £4.70 on Car and Classic magazine to read the glossed over article on the two cars yawn! That has to be the most rubbish lazy piece of journalism I have ever read frown

I used to have a fair bit of respect for that magazine, sadly that's out the window now.

I don't know Fuc.k all about the Cerebra, But you can rest assured I would do my research before writing about one frown Pity the research was not done on the Viper!

Trouble is for the journalist its a question of "why bother?" Those that know the car (only a few) will always find some detail they don't agree with, (viper owners don't agree it all) and those that know nothing (the majority) wont know the difference or even care. Sadly, this has been my experience with every piece of journalism i have read where i have known the detail behind the story, and not just limited to car mags either.

I own both....

It is difficult to compare the two cars directly....both icon must have cars of there time. Both styled to make an impact with out compromise. love the engine of both.....the sound tracks are great....Both feel seriously quick and special to drive.

The Viper does attract more interest when out, but I guess it would be different if the TVR was seen in the US!

Both from experience have had there reliability issues, but nothing too serious.

Both are not high tech...For me the Viper would edge it however it would come a close second to the Sagaris!!!!

I can't help wonder if the cerbera would get attention levels closer to the viper if it was bright blue with stripes and a mahoosive wing - rather than being grey ;-)

What a spectacular driveway.
