Think I'm coming back to TVR...

[girlracer]

I can not knock my Z car - it's amazing, but it's not a TVR and I think I am a TVR girl at heart. I'm sorry, but I just need to have the loudest, fastest, sexiest car on the road!! There's nothing I can do about it. Pretty much decided on a T350, but I'd love to hear what you Tuscaneer's think of the 02 onwards Tuscans compared to my old 2000 model. Still prefer the looks of the Tuscan, but the handling of the T350 has swayed me towards that. Can a later model Tuscan provide the best of both?

Your ashtray full then?!

Must admit if I'd have test driven the T350 I would have had a hell of a problem deciding between the T350's handling against the unparalleled good looks of the Tuscan.

Think of it like this, Would you rather be Jordan (T350) or Liv Tylor (Tuscan)? Jordan is good at attracting crowds at getting in mags because of her curves and style, But none of it is original. Where as Liv has natural beauty, Scultptured lines and who really cares if she goes off track now and again? She has presance and something Jordan doesn't, a Decent set of headlights

You're biased because Daddy had just bought a Tuscan

And who's going back to a Tuscan (Albiet a Tuscan R) from a T350, I rest my case

err... I'd rather be me, ta very much! But car wise, I'd rather not get the same car I got last year and relive the same problems.

Don't start Jez, this is all your fault anyway!! "have you tried a T350, I think you'd like it.." indeed!

Well, as I've owned a 2000 Tuscan, a T350 Red Rose and have driven our latest Tuscan S demonstrator, I prefer the Tuscan S for its mindblowing performance, definitely in another league as the T350 RR. Handlingwise its nearly as good as the T350, with a liitle bit negative on the track, but with a lot more high speed stability.

It horses for courses.

I have a Tusc. Id like a 350 for its more progressive handing but i cant. im scint. ill have to drive with the fear of god for now. I love it anyway.

Go for it Sally, you know it makes sense..

Nothing wrong with a Tuscan brown trouser moment on the motorway at certain illegal speeds, keeps you awake..
Seriously, drive within YOUR limits not the cars and you'll be OK..

[matt_c]

When I was considering what car to buy, I looked at the 350Z... but bought a 2001 Tuscan. Never looked back... (except during oversteer...)

[graham66]

Sally, you know you want a Tuscan, and you know that if the handling is more to your liking you will buy one, so go out and try some!

Seriously, ask a dealer for an extended drive, explain what you have been through and you may get away with a weekend to try the car.

Also worth looking at cars with the upgraded suspension, have a go in some of those if you can - even better if the owner shows you how it handles

Big question is though, can you fit all the bands kit in a 350???

Go for a Tuscan with a Nitron suspension kit. It makes a hell of a difference. Maybe Julian's offer is still open?

[matt_c]

girlracer... 350Z is a good car and well balanced, but it doesn't really compare to the handling characteristics and fun you have in the Tuscan.
I like to hang my back end out... but not all people do...

[jigs]

Girlracer misses that raw anticipation - will it go will it break down - that element of danger is so addictive.

[matt_c]

Well my TVR has been more reliable than recent gilrfriends... sorry, sore spot .

Anybody who watched 'Im a celebrity, get me out of here' on Monday night will have witnessed that Jordan has indeed got a very nice arse. Unfortunately the same can not be said about the T350.
