Viper GTS or TVR T350c?

[Mickeym]

What are you thoughts on that? Both have quite a few in common. From style cues to the lack of driving aids etc.

Anybody has driven both or even better owned both?

Would love to hear the opinions.

Talking the SR II: 1996–2002 GTS here.

Based on no practical experience at all - the Viper.

I've always thought that they were stunning looking cars, and probably the only LHD car I'd be willing to buy,

Based purely on a poster in my bedroom wall as a kid.... VIPER !

Ok thanks. Maybe somebody who has owned one or both or at least driven them will add to the discussion.

[Mickeym]

So nobody?

I owned a T350c for about 6months.

Saw it launched in the press, fell in love with the looks, always had a soft spot for TVR (having never owned one mind) went to the dealer, test drove, ordered and paid my money.

that bit was great!

Then …..well you only have to read about owning a TVR, and you know what comes next.

When its on song, driving it is a pleasure. Its just a shame I could only use it about 30% of the time that I wanted to.

As a bauble - fantastic, as a drivable classic - you need Teflon underpants.

I am now fully expecting a flaming from all TVR owners …...

I've always liked both. The Viper is awesome for its engine and looks and is incredibly rare. The T350C I've always liked as well and at one stage I fancied one to replace my Cerbera when I had it.

I'm guessing that the Viper will be less stressful to own in terms of reliability/dependability. You either need deep pockets or be handy with the spanners with a TVR. Patience and a good sense of humour comes in handy too!
