    Mosler MT 900S VS. TVR T440R

    The Mosler would probably win on a track, TVRs aren't very easy to drive, apparently.

    I'd still take the TVR though.

    You'd think.

    The T400R and a few Mosler MT900Rs are entered in the British GT Championship. At the rounds where both have been racing:

    Rnd1:
    2nd - T400R
    7th - MT900R (4 Laps behind)

    Rnd9:
    2nd, 3rd - T400R
    6th - MT900R (1 lap behind)

    Rnd10:
    2nd - MT900R
    3rd, 4th - T400R (3:40mins behind)

    The TVRs also finished 1st and 2nd in their GT2 category at the 1000km at Spa this year.
    Thanks for all the fish

    It also takes a lot of development work and if the team that's running the Mosler doesn't have as much money as the team that's running the TVR then the Moslers probably wouldn't be as fast.

    I prefer the TVR, altough I don't like the rear styling of the T440R. As for performance even if there are differences between them, you'll be going pretty fast in order to find those anyway...
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!
