Diffs between CHIM and GRIFFS?

[paulsmith]

apart from engine etc,,,could someone tell me what the main diffs are between them?,,is one better than the other? any advice/comments appreciated

From 2001 they were identical body and interior aside...

Chim is generally considered a more useable car with a bigger boot and 4.0/4.5 versions readily available and many more made than the GRiff. Griff is less of a compromise but to be honest try loads and you'll find what you want

Paul - you need to decide how you will use the car.

If track days are your thing, then perhaps a modified 5 litre Griffith is the one for you.

If you are more interested in touring with space to carry luggage, golf clubs etc, then a 4.5 Chimeara would be better IMHO.

Will this be a daily driver or a second car? Will you be the only driver? All these things will need to be considered.

Griff is a not too bright bare knuckle fighter......

Chimaera is a sophisticated thinker and lover....

Hi all, thanks for your comments...I have a Chimaera at the moment, and just love the look of the Griff, and was seeing how beneficial it would be, if any...if i changed.....

The other option is getting rid of my cars and buying a much newer Tvr,,,thats another debate all together,,,but its being confident to take the plunge,and it could not let me down!!!..

Well you'll already know how 'sophisticated' a car the chim is. If that's your reason for buying a Griff it's a good un, we've had ours nearly 3 years and I still find myself admiring its sexy curves, the way the 17" wheels fill the arches and the purposeful stance viewed from the rear 3/4, it's aggresive appearance in the rear view mirror and the way the tailpipes appear to be giving the world the fingers and.......erm
