I was surpised to not find a similar thread so I thought I'd start the debate...

Very simple:
Which (chimaera or later) TVR is the fastest in varying conditions?
I know that this question is somewhat subjective, so in the interests of making this vaguely scientific, I am trying to make a judgment which takes into account top speed, acceleration through the gears to over 100mph, handing, braking etc...
In the interests of objectivity, cars in standard form only.

I am imagining a nurburgring or equivilent, or blast through a variety of A and B roads in order to give a car a full shake down to answer the all important question... Which is the fastest of them all??!!

My thoughts:

Cerbera Speed 12 (if you can include such a low volume car on a list like this)
Tamora (based on what I've been told by the guys at bespoke performance about the (relative) lack of power being offset by having the best handling)
Sagaris
T350
Cerbera 4.5 AJP
Griff
chimaera 5.0

Yes i have done lots of research on this and its definately the blue ones. The darker the better, i think they get through the air better; and i seem to recall out of all the models its the Griffs which come out on top. smile

Steve I think you'll find your info is out of date. It USED to be the blue ones but these days it's the black ones cool

Are you sure a 4.5 Cerb is that far down the list? What about Cerbera 4.2 AJP and Cerbera SP6 smile

There are some seriously mis-guided folk in her who think they know TVR's but are in fact talking bks.

All of the specialists will acknowledge that Reflex Purple is easily the fastest and the reson is obvious It has the speed of green, purple and blue cars all added together. It is worth nearly 3 minutes at the Nurburgring, and the girlies like it smile
