Anyone done this? I love my Cerbera its a late 4.5 LW model, running 400bhp and i think its a keeper. However, part of me is saying get a Sagaris as it was the last of the TVR line.
Anyone done this, pro's/con's

The Cerbera is a awesome car, though the Sag is even more awesome and to be honest in a different league, just go and drive a good un smile

I must stress, I absolutely adore the T350c, more so the more development it has - we've barely started. It is also stupidly pretty, I've locked myself out of the house staring at the bloody thing! Proper British Sports car. cloud9

The Cerbera is a unique car though, they are very different. In an ideal world, I would have/will have both. The AJP is an utterly mental engine that needs to be experience by everyone with petrol in their veins. Proper British muscle car. thumbup

Edit: Sagaris is visual overdose for me, I prefer the T350c/ Cerbs more subtle curves. Sagarii also tend to be bought by people who park them up and polish them too. hehe I'll grab my coat and get running now... eek

Just a thought, but for the price of a good Sagaris, you could have a good T350 and a Cerbera. Seriously. Think about it/ try one.

If I was actually any good at track driving (and had bothered to take out some Life Insurance on Mrs Fubes wink) I would seriously consider one as a road/track car, having driven Dean's Sag at Rockingham. Loved it.

As mainly a road car/GT, I prefer the Cerb.

Funds permitting, a Sag/Cerb garage would be all you ever needed (although I could be tempted to stick a late Diablo in there too). Hmm, and perhaps a 4.3BV Griff for when I feel like getting sunburn.

Damn you EuroMillion numbers, DAMN YOU!

Anyway, cant get the family in a Sag (just trying to get the demon off my shoulder)

Agreed a sag can't replace a Cerbera, only accompany one.
The sag is the only Tvr I would consider (except for a typhon that is) from the t cars, the others don't do anything for me.

Nail on the head there. There's no perfect car for all jobs, the only solution is more than one car!

You can't really compare the two cars, they're too different.

Visually the Sagaris attracts alot more attention than the Cerbera (but that may be because my Sag is bright green and the Cerb is silver).

The Cerbera is a lot more relaxing to drive than the Sagaris, I find it quiter (even though it's decatted); people following the Cerb would probably disagree that it's quiter but cabin I find it quiter. I also find it easier to drive as it rides across uneven roads a lot better, but I am running Nitrons. I also find it more comfortable and if I ever had to drive up from the S. of France again in one go it would be the car I would choose.

But given a sunny Sunday afternoon, some empty smooth twisty roads and a couple of hours to have a blast I would be in the Sagaris grinning from ear to ear.

At the end of the day one is more of a GT car and the other is more of a track day car.

If I could only have it would be Sagbera... Cerbaris... SagaCerb... I can't decide, I just know if ever got rid one I would always regret it.

A good cerbera will make a sagaris feel slow and twitchy,A ajp8 is head and shoulders above a speed six.

fooks me if a cerb is slow, I think I'd be frightened of fast hehe,






idea thinking about it, yes the Cerb does have too much power and low down torque which on the road must make it slower than the more progressive nature of the S6. I sometimes play with Tam and whilst he can use full throttle most of the time I can almost never put it down, so at legal(ish) speeds there is very little in practice in their respective performances, or he is using 3rd whilst I'm in 5th hehe.

The Cerbera is a good car no doubt, I have one. A speed six. I drove a few and prefered the SP6 over the AJP8 maybe the AJP8 I drove were poorly set up but give me the six everytime. The Sag looks crazy and wild everything a TVR should be. If money was not an issue I might lean towards a Sag but I don't think I could ever part with the Cerbera, so as has been mentioned already i would have to have both.

How sad am I? I've just measured my garage and with removal of some keyrap, I could just squeeze a Sag in alongside the Cerb wobble
