The chaps from Classic & Sports Car magazine share our office, and have just popped over to ask a favour.

They are looking for a 4.5 Cerbera (ideally finished in a bright colour and as standard as possible) for a forthcoming mag feature, pitching the Cerb against a Viper.

I'm not sure of the details as yet, but if you are interested please drop me a line and I'll put you in touch with the right people.

Thanks guys smile

A std Cerb 4.5 is quoted as 420bhp but we all know they don't make this, therefore it would be good if a remapped version could be used........would make the comparison fairer IMO.

Hi Gazza.

As I understand it, you will drive the car for the most part although Graeme from Classic & Sports Car will need to drive it too (fully insured) for the comparison.

I'm not sure of the dates and location as I am merely the messenger, but I can pass your details on to the C&SC fellows if you'd like to know more.

Nah dont worry as I'm sure it will be a week day and so that counts me out (I get paid by the day and so it would be an expensive jolly for me) and my car isnt a bright colour (in fact is more stealth coloured than bright coloured).......

If you want to "downgrade" I can offer a 4.2 kicking out dyno'd 393 - 399bhp in photo friendly Ferrari Grigio Pearl (whatever) silvery blue???

I know it's not the "full fat" 4.5..... wink

also mine has :-
head work
nitrons
different box
different diff
de cat
sports exhaust
red rose
etc etc
So whilst it looks standard it isnt and would potentially over represent the marque ;-)

I'll make sure that Graeme from C&SC takes a look at this thread, that way he can respond directly.

I'd be up for this with my Raspbery 4.5 with RL7's and a 411hp remap.
Do we know where and when?

I'll throw my hat in the ring too. 4.5, minor changes although not sure they would count as mods. But a super photogenic colour combination smile
