Tuscan to Cerbera - anyone done it?
Discussion
I've had my Tuscan for over a year now and I'm thinking of changing.
Lots of time spent browsing the adverts here and on Autotrader produces a list of 911 GT3, Noble or Ultima or another TVR.
A combination of looks and lower price means that it is likely to be another TVR, and the other S6 cars are not hugely different to the Tuscan, so I am being drawn to a Cerbera, probably a late model 4.5.
Has anyone done this and got any opinions they would like to share?
Anyone want to do a swap? :D

I'm thinking of changing from cerb to tusc, but unsure as to whether i'll miss the anger of the 8 & whether it'll cope with track use!
Fancy a temp swap to see how we get on
www.carboncan.co.uk/ as recommended by most.
Not sure re trackday noise levels with them, but it is only a 5 minute job to remove and refit the old ones.

Thats interesting, does the carbon can really make a difference to the noise, & if so, what sort of changes might we be looking at, does it increase volume as well as changing the note?

Cirvy, Did you see the silver Tuscan at the Oulton park TVR trackday he seemed to be tramming on a little, maybe worth talking to him if you can find out who he was.(I think there was only one in our group!!!)
I had a ding dong with a silver Tuscan in my group & we were very closely matched, first time thats happened though! Have to say, it went well, & from what i can gather it was not an 'S', & was pretty much standard!
You know what its like, coming up to 4 years of ownership & you just sometimes yearn for a bit of a change
Still love the Cerb though & would quite like to get another track day season out of it yet, after all, i still need to learn how to keep up with you

Whats the best way of getting the Tusc to sound mean whilst still getting through noise limits at track events?
Hi Simon how's things?
I guess this is of particular importance to you knowing the fun you had with the noise guy at Donington earlier this year when you so kindly gave me a lift round!!
You'll have to take us for a spin in the Tuscan if you get one as well

Things OK, cheers for asking.
You're quite right about the noise issue, the problem is of course, you want it nice & rorty for your Sunday morning blat, but then to be thrown off a track-day when you've paid your money, & been looking forward to it all week, is just so infuriating
