michael Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 yes a 205 diesal Bare in mind the c5 is cheaper on insurance but is left hand drive No question in my mind then, the TVR but I'd keep saving and get the 4.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest L80OUS Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 No question in my mind then, the TVR but I'd keep saving and get the 4.5 true the 4.5 is just above the mid 3's to 0-60mph, 4.2 about 4 flat i think, still enough to kill ones self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Corvette, very rare over here. Never really been a fan of the TVR there's one near work and I've seen the Gatwick tvr courtesy car on the drive a few times. A guy at the gym has one (not sure which model) he said its very unreliable but fun when its actually on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hmm bare in mind that both these car's are straight line cars and dont like corners too much why not go for a smaller TVR instead of a Cerbera for examble tuscan or Griff 500, As for the not very reliable part thats a bit of an old wifes tale they are just not as reliable as other car's in that price braket.

Thanks Bob that's 2 people who have called me that today, the otehr was my sister So you'd prefer a LHD Corvette or plastic TVR against a nicely tuned Supra?

Bobbeh Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Nice, personally I would like to make a Supra track car, but still using the 2JZ, single tubbie, stirpped out, kitted out and slammed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KARacing Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Bob, I think I will have the pictures of my full race Supra in mid of 2006. I just bought a 93 NA Manual for $2200 in GBP last week. Right now, I am finding the 3S-GTE engine from Japan. Once I found one, I can start my project right away. Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
