Tuscan with nitrons verses T350
Discussion
All in the title really?
I have been looking at T350Cs with a view to buying one but are considering expanding the search to Tuscans. My preference for the T350C was that it was generally considered to have sorted many of the handling vices of the Tuscan.
A number of the Tuscans in the PH classified have benefited from nitron or protech damper upgrades and adjusted geometry. How would these cars compare to a T350C with stock suspension?

I have not driven a T350 but i have owned a Tuscan 1 Also a Tamora and now a Tuscan 2s The mark one was on racing reds and it always had me concentrating !!
The tamora was also racing red shod and could be described as near perfection while the Tuscan 2 is about to be Nitron done and is very much a work in progress .(and boy is that progress needed)

I bought (and have just sold!!) your Tuscan mark 1 - it was on the standard Bilsteins?!The tamora was also racing red shod and could be described as near perfection while the Tuscan 2 is about to be Nitron done and is very much a work in progress .(and boy is that progress needed)
Nitrons on a Tuscan make it a very easy car to drive - almost completely removes the 'its going to kill me' feeling!
Knowing how TVR work I would need some convinvcing that they made 'significant' changes to the Tamora/T350 handling over the Tuscans.

Does the fact that Tuscan handling is thought of inthe same breath as Widow Maker, where as the other T cars are spoken of in high regard by almost everyone that owns the cars not tell you something?? Edited by TVR_owner on Thursday 26th August 20:23

The thing that got me interested in the T350 was that when Autocar took it on their 2003 handling day it was the quickest thing with doors around Rockingham.

Off on a tangent but is it possible to set a T350 up like a Sagaris?
Set up is so often down to who does it. I know its not a TVR but a suspension specialist set up my G33 with laser alignment so it drove like a Sagaris (he said). Most scary drive I had in my life was the first drive after he did it. Took it somewhere else that used string and rulers and now its fantastic. Often its the settings, but it can be trial and error sorting them.

Strange that the Tam is so far behind the T350 in that list ...
Don't know about a Tuscan MKI but I can say that a MKII with Nitrons and the right set up is very good.
A Mk I with the right setup is equally entertaining Don't know about a Tuscan MKI but I can say that a MKII with Nitrons and the right set up is very good.
