4.5 vs 4.2 Cerbera

[tvrtuscans]

I know that this has been asked before, but....cutting to the chase, what are the pro's and con's 4.5 Cerbera vs 4.2.....

[good40]

4.2 much cheaper so better value - no slower when std!

Yes I do have a 4.2

[Tanguero]

Not again....! Does no one know how to search for last weeks 4.2 vs 4.5 thread?
Never mind there's only time for 4 or 5 more identical threads before next year.

well, if i remember correctly, the 4.2 is the original design, and veryyy rare as well.
think that as of 1998 TVR started to us 4.5 blocks with 4.2 inlets. So actually the original 4.2 is very rare and will probably very soon be extreeeeemly collectable.
and for the speed and power... well, it turned out that if you like to have more power than that super refined rare and oh so collectable original 4.2 you already gave... you really need to put all kind of strange and very unoriginal TVR things on your 4.5...


P.S. i know you did not guess it but I do have a 4.2

Had a 3 x 4.5's. Had a 4.2 temporary engine for a while in current cerb. Prefer the 4.5, more refined and more powerful.

Yeah so after realising they had got it wrong they decided to start doing it properly and made the 4.5 :-)

[esso]

its easy....when your in the the pub talking Cerbs your the one with the biggest bks if you have a 4.5.

[C3BER]

And the RR. bkss are the biggest

[Cerbieherts]

Oh, yes, they certainly are

Unless you have a 4.7 that is of course.

Yeah, but the 5.0 is the real one to have!

I suspect that when some people get down to Le Mans each year they say to their mates 'let's not talk about cars again, we've already had that conversation!!!'

Noooooo RR4.5 all natural, anything else is pure silicon implant

And I prefer the all natural look with all the jiggles and sways but a quick nip and tuck to a 4.7 would be lovely.

[ff5317]

There's nothing silicone about a factory 5.0 AJP! Admittedly not an original fitment, but still all Blackpool.

[Vee8ight]

Who cares which is better, they all break down, lol

Biggest of all if you have a RR L/w
