Wedge or Chimaera ?

[900ss]

Not wishing to start a fight lol but just looking for an honest opinion.
As the chimaera was the newer model was it the better car of the two?
Over a late 400 wedge or early 4.0 Chimaera which would you buy?

Chimarea - build quality much better and the handling is better.

No experience with a Wedge, but absolutely delighted with the Chim

Wedge. Biased me, anyhow, if you are looking then best get a drive in a few. to see for yourself.





PS, Wedges let people know you are about to arrive....

Does the wedge use a diffo suspension setup to a Chimaera?
I’ve only seen the Chimaeras setup up close what with its upper n lower arm and Ford hub arrangement
Has anyone got a link to the wedge suspension layout for comparison?

I've driven 5Ltr Griffs, A 4Ltr Chimp and a S6 Tuscan and S Series but nothing compares when driving a Wedge. The reasons? Noise, Style, Raretity, Etc Etc - there is a unique sense of ocassion one gets jumping into a v8 Wedge that the others don't give.

Admittedly the other TVRs may be built better and look easier on the eye - but I still prefer my 350i now without its Efi in favour of a Carb...

Depends to some extent what the car is for. My Chim is my only car and I'm happy to use it whatever the weather. I don't think I could use a Wedge in the same way. Oh yes, it lives outside as well - no problem.

Why?
I've read posts about Chimaera wiper motors n wet foot wells. Is the Wedge known to be worse?

Thought about it, but Ive already upset one person today...two might be pushing it!


I like the Chimaera, but I would go for a good, later, bigger, bader, NOISIER Wedge anytime without hesitation

Completely smitten with my 450 now. The looks, the feel, the smell and it's got an engine that'll tear my face off. Oh and the noise is just fantastic. Have a look at the vids on my profile.

The Chimps and Griffs are fantastic cars, better balanced etc but Wedges get under your skin. I'm hooked.
