Just a bit new here...

[TheHobbit]

Well, I've been lurking in here for a while, normally found in the Chimaera forum. However, MrsHobbit and I finally swapped our Chim, and this morning picked up...



So, just thought I'd stick my head in, and

Cheers for now,

Hi Hobbit

beautiful colour-plenty of room for furry feet as well.
How do you fine the difference between the Chim and the T350?

Both Mrs Hobbit and I miss the Chim a lot, but it was time to move on.

The T350t feels like the next generation of TVR. Itr handles better, goes better, and inspires more confidence in its abilities than the Chim did. These things alone are commanding a lot of respoect at the moment, as we get used to driving with all this extra power.

The Speed Six is a different animal, and doesn't have the low down torque of the V8, and you need to use the gears more. Whereas the V8 delivered power pretty much across the range, the six delivers power more and more as the revs rise.

The exhaust note is different, but I've always liked six pots, and so like the T350 tailpipes.

Only had it for a day and a half, so these are only my first thoughts.

Really enjoying it so far
