I have an 05 T350c which is in my opinion the best looking car ever and I love it. It's my 4th TVR and my 2nd T350c. But my question is do I sell it (While I'm still young and stupid enough!) for a doolally hyper car like a Gallardo/360/GT3RS or a Sagaris. The Gallardo is top of my list and the noise alone is unbelievable but I'm hoping to find out if anyone has experince of any of these cars comparitively. Will I feel disappointed over my Trev or will it offer all or nearly all of the experince for a lot less money (to buy and to run!)

Go and get yourself a Sagaris. The world will love you, and you will thank yourself. Or something like that.

Seriously, get yourself a Sag.

Probably not worth the cost of changing to a Sag - wait till the engine goes pop and upgrade to 4.0l RR or 4.3 IMHO. Wider rear track which apparently gives marginally better roadholding probably the only advantage and you would have to prefer the looks. As for the Gallardo scratchchin, probably too easy to drive tho'.

Give Justin220 (http://pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?memberId=84245) a shout - he went from a 350c to a Gallardo not long ago.

Tough choice over a Gallardo or Sagaris in my opinion. Gallardo is quite a head turner but nothing like the way a Sagaris turns heads. Running costs and residual values have to be taken into account for both as well.
If it was me and I had to choose it would be the Sag but then I guess I would say that at the moment as the Sag has been great ļ

Good Luck

A chap in my road has Gallardo and we become good mates. His car sounds fantastic up the rev range but then he thinks my Sag does.

I think the Gallardo is the better car but value for money it is no where near, the Sag wins. The Gallardo does not get the contempt of a prancing horse and I love it but it is not a Hyper car in my eyes.

Not a great deal of difference in performance but I would prefer to be in the lambo if I was going to corner hard as the 4WD makes you feel a lot safer.

The Lambo costs a fortune to run and for head turning looks we both agree the Sag wins hands down on that as well.

In not many years the Lambo will cost less than the Sag I am sure.

Oh dear - the purple peril looks like it's moving again! You've only had it three months! From your other posts it seems to me you need to scratch that Lambo 'itch' smile

Yeah I know! Don't get me wrong I love it and in all honesty I will only sell it if I really have to, for the right price and to the right person. A Gallardo really is one of my dream cars and as you say, it's an itch that just doesn't seem to be going away. I will probably be putting some Nitrons on her soon and just carry on enjoying until I make a firm decision. Its such a hard decision hence why im struggling to make it!!

I was only last week asking myself the same question........

for me it was either a ferrari 360 /Nissan GTR or save a little longer for a Gallardo!

But as from last saturday im a very VERY prowd owner of a very yellow sagaris and dont regret my desicion one bit!

I ruled out the ferrari as didnt want half the population to think I was
an up my own arse lawyer or banker. And have it keyed in the carpark everytime i left it.

I ruled out the GTR as I thought depreciation would be high in a few years and all reports say its not very involving.

I ruled out the Lambo......Coz I couldnt afford it yet! but it will probally be my next move once the prices have fallen a little more.

GET a SAGARIS...how many othere have you seen on the road???..how many other cars can draw sooo much positive attention??? and TVR is a British icon!!!!

Its Raw , gorgeous and goes like an ICBM!!!

I also had a look into the GTR until I seen the running costs! eek

Glad your liking the Sagaris, my main reason for not getting one was I wanted something 'more different' to my T350. I'll own a Sagaris one day..
