lingenfelter is just a level of vette... Still would save money over the tvr. you can buy a lingenfelter with full waranty at the dealers. Not my fault that tvr has no selection.

face it... the tvr is allmost a hand built car.. you protest when an assemly line vette gets a few options offered by the dealer? you can get your vette from mild to wild... with the tvr... you might get to pick the paint color... you and the other dozen guys who buy one this year.

if I wanted a hand built car that had few options I would choose the vastly superior Mosler over the tvr in any case. I guess if I had the money I could allways buy a tvr and do an engine swap... I'm sure they will be a drug on the market after they go out of bussiness.

McLaren F1 is one of the few Euroexotics that is worth the price. Designed by Gordon Murray. Nuff Said.

boo! skuzzy! thats impressive

i got my cheque yesterday btw, thankyou!!

Laz. go here and learn something http://www.tvr-eng.co.uk

And do you think a handbuilt, small production line is not a good thing??

Quote

Over the last few years, TVR has achieved what was previously thought to be unachievable for a company of its size. Three new engines and five new cars have emerged from TVR's Blackpool factory but none of this would have been possible without the talent and energy of TVR's engineers and craftsmen.
Every car is hand-built to a customer's own specification; every engine has the engine builder's initials on it.

And TVR is not likely to go out of business because they are getting more and more popular - was formed in 1947 so they have been around for a while.

Hang on to your check Furball. The first years production is already sold.

BOO!

You made my point... it is a hand built car... when we compare a lingenfelter vette that is superior but far from "hand built" you cry foul.. When we compare the Mosler which is handbuilt... yu don't even play..

been to the TVR website... I guess it really must be a great car... I mean... they wouldn't hype it on the website would they? No chance of that.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion's, i like TVR's you like vette's lets leave it as that.

Hblair, Gordon Murray is a famous designer of racing cars, including multiple F1 champions. There are some features on that car that are beyond any road car ever built, really technical stuff.
