What could ever replace a Cerb sized space in your heart?

[Erich Stahler]

Not much really, until I spotted two of these at close quarters today, must say they have something of a rich mans cerb personality about them, slightly understated long GT coupe, yet quite menacing from some angles.
They are still eye wateringly expensive, however I believe it shares the same engine as an Enzo.

Pamela Anderson!!

A Cerb-sized pile of cash.....

I'v wondered a few times what i would replace the cerb with for the same kind of money and there isn't anything.
The only things that are close is a corvette and maybe a esprit but neither has the impact, visual or aural appeal as the cerb

I can afford none of them though.......

A Z06 job done!

Dodge Viper would help to appease me for a time certainly. But it would possibly take more than one car to fill a void that big.

Weird that. In my non-Cerb owning world I see only one car that has the 'bonkers British' factor of the cerb and is functionally similar (except for no rear seats) - the Morgan Aeromax. Maybe the forthcoming AM Vantage V12RS, too - although I've got a feeling that one will end up being a watered-down version of the prototype, and too heavy.

There is no other car that has the "David can kill Goliath" factor.

Saggy with a monster LS chucked in!

The national debt? (marginally cheaper!)

I'm a Brit car lover, so it would have to be something out of the Aston works tbh. More specifically a Vantage is about the only current car I'd chop the Cerbera for, which at Cerb+£20k for the change for a slower car is not happening in the foreseeable.

[Erich Stahler]

Well there you go, I think all your views once again just go to prove how special and undervalued the Cerb really is. We could go on and on listing exciting fast GTs till the cows come home but the fact still remains hardly any examples listed here are anywhere near the price tag the last Cerbs were selling at towards the end of their production run! Wasn't it somewhere around the midd 40k range? Even the Z06 is a fair bit more than 50k I think?


As JensenA put so well.....

Maybe not if you define 'David' and 'Goliath' in pure monetary terms, but...

Kylie Minogue and a micra would do for me.
