can anyone explain the following... i recently boughts a 996 c4s. when i acclerate HARD from a standstill, the clutch seems to develop a life of its own and move in and out as if to control the bite.... is this what is happening, or is it something that is going to require mega bucks being spent to sort out?

Is it something to do with the PSM? I had this happen to me when attempting wheelies having forgotten to turn it off!

TVR's are not that bad you know! Get a well looked after one, and it won't break the bank.....budget £3K per year for servicing and repairs. Out of interest how does that compare to your 964 for running costs?

Go for a 5 litre (not that I'm biased) chim or griff, they are great fun, plus convo too. They are not as well built as a Porsche, nor do they handle as well, but have lots of character (not saying Porkers do not have any, they do, but in a different way), and go like the clappers and make a great noise. If you want warp speed go for a Cerbera or Tuscan, though they can suffer from a few more niggles than the Rover V8 engined cars. For performance per pound spent, IMO there is nothing to touch a TVR. Have you driven one yet?

But at the end of the day....its horses for courses

On a Le Mans run last year the TVR's were quickest but there were 3 breakdowns 2 minor one terminal! But boy did they sound good going through the tunnels(that was a 6TVR 2 911 convoy.
