Today my good friend, whatever, allowed me the privelige of trying his mean green hooning machine - a stunning 4.5 Cerbera.
It was misty moisty and I had previously got the rear wheels of my Boxster S whizzing on the slimy road conditions around my town on the way over to his abode. So - although there could be no indiscrimiate whacking of the accelerator - I had a chance to appreciate what, to you chaps, is an everyday occurrence but, to me, was a very special and different experience indeed.
My impressions:
Wow. I didn't expect any TVR to be this smooth, this good. The clutch was light, the brakes direct, the steering pointy but firm, the gearshift was direct and light. A brilliant car to drive. Easy to control and far easier than I thought it would be to get a smooth drive - it flattered the driver so much more than I thought it would. The pedals are perfectly placed.
Our Chimaera is agricultural in comparison.
What a car!
It is clearly ballistic in its performance, although I couldn't really try that today.

E N J O Y!

Would like to know what your honest impressions were on the Cerbera compared to your Porker S....
Ooooh. That is so, so difficult. They're different cars and each utterly brilliant in its own way.
I'll think carefully about it and post again.
All I can say is that if you own one - you must love it. Very impressive. Much more so than other TVRs I've driven.
Interesting opinion, one that is very similar to mine. I find the Cerbera to be alot more friendly than people make them out to be, terrifying in a "im entering a wet tree lined corner at 60 with half a turn of lock on" way, but its always quite happy to be gathered up with a little more lock.
They seem to be pretty progressive (in the wet atleast) - absolutely love it. I need to do a few more trackdays in dads one, I need another fix
Accelerations pretty violently ballistic too...
