What I really love....

Is driving the Chimaera after a break away from it.
The Cerbera has been having all my attention lately so I thought it was time I gave the Chimaera a good thrashing. God I love it
The low burble, really having to prod the pedal to make it rev, being able to bury the throttle in the carpet without the rear wheels trying to spin off the axle, at motorway speeds leaving it in 5th and standing on the loud pedal and listening to the low revs rumble and as speed builds hearing the tail pipes growl and roar in to a deep wail, feeling cossetted in the driving seat, it's amazing how much smaller a Chimaera feels than a Cerbera.
The whole experience is just wonderful.
I'm not saying the Cerbera experience isn't, but it's a different ball game all together, with the free revving V8, the sports pipes crackling and popping, the quite frankly ridiculous acceleration that makes the Chimaera feel decidedly pedestrian. You'd be amazed how much quicker a Cerb fills the gap between you and the car in front than a Chimaera.
If the Cerbera is the Daddy of the TVR world, then the Chimaera is certainly the favourite Son. God I'm a lucky bugger
