Just for interest really, but which would your choice be? Everyone's experience of both are different, and I have other vehicles available, but, if, it was slippery out there which would be your steed of choice? And yes "drive to the conditions" will obviously be stated. My choice I think would be the Chimaera as I've had it nearly 10 years and know the characteristics like the back of my hand, my head says the Cerbera ought to be better behaved but I have only had it since May and am not really as used to it as I am the other.
Chimaera obviously not as quick, mad, powerful as the Cerbera, with throttle response measured in decades (
) but lots of torque low down. Or, Cerbera, with less torque (low down, I feel) but lightening response to throttle input and warp factor eleventy-ten available in an instant.
The descriptions above are mine and your experience may/will be different.

Since you haven't given me the option of a Griff 500, and you know I wouldn't be seen dead in a Chim, I'll walk thanks. 
(I know you saw that coming!)
No worries fella, you'll look a look better walking anyway.(I know you saw that coming!)
Suppose I should have done another poll - If a Griff driver walks in Ice/Snow does he still have his shirt undone to show his chest wig?

One of our mad lot drove their Chim 4.0 HC to Chamonix last year even took snow boards on an inflatable roof rack. Result!
Lucky bugger. When I lived there it was all I could do to be able to afford an espresso and a meal every other day. Be great to return there with some money Amazing how many sugar cubes you can dissolve in to one of those small cups
