I still own my Tuscan... but I bought a Z06. And it's truly awesome. Don't worry about LHD; it's a piece of cake.

I thought the Tuscan was quick. The Z06 is rampant!

Possibly an Ultima... Z06 'Vette looks pretty good.
Yep maybe a marcos or even a top spec model from Sebring International.
Some of their motors look rather groovy in an old-school way.

Tried the Z06 and it just doesnt work where I live plus its a God awful interior after spending time in the Sag. The HUD is funky, the softer suspension is nice, dont like the size of the car though.

An 8C would be a possibility if Alfa werent being their usual incompetent selves.
Ive currently got a hankering for a 964 T 3.6
Aston Vanq.

Tried the Lotus... not enough power, and TOO light (scary in high winds down the motorway at high speeds)
Tried the Jag... lovely but too remote a feel
Tried the Aston... too heavy, needed more low-down grunt, and let down by its interior

Happy to be back (this last 24 hours hasn't helped, mind!)

Looking forwards:
- Marcos - Making all the right noises (literally) for me at the moment, would want a couple of "unique" personal touches, though, and a nice bit of Year 1/Year 2 depreciation to make a second hand one reasonable
- Wiessman GT. Oh yes Get one of those in right hand drive with the front light pods blended in, and I'm there. yes
- Aston DBS - Well, you would, wouldn't you?
- Noble M14 - But PLEASE put a "man's" engine in it
- Ascari - Someone willing to let me try one and make my mind up? *please*?

yesyes Though they are more ££ for less track speed. Marcos is the only TVRish alternative in my opinion. There are plenty of other sportscars but only this one is in the TVR mould.

How much like a TVR chassis does this look like ?!?

All it needs is a different body style, Griff or Chim like rather than Cobra. Stick in 550bhp LS7 engine (not typo, is what they do with different ecu and optimised induction!) and performance/£ far in excess of the Marcos, or just about anything else for that matter hehe.
