    its definitely the TVR... you could ask what's better between a lotus elise and a van with a load of mods to bump it up to the same power and torque, but it'll never really match something designed with going fast in mind. ok so the difference isnt as obvious as that, but...

    whatever, we all know the difference, why bother.

    The TVR easily. It weighs about 1200 pounds lighter and was made to race. Who cares if it's undriveable on the street? Mine's gonna be at track kicking the ass of everything else in its path.

    Which basically sounds like the Viper from what I've read. Isn't it still lighting up it's rear tyres in and 3rd of 4th? That just sounds awesomely drivable

    Viper is regarded as an incredibly easy and well handling car for its size and power...?

    Yes, this isn't a Viper. It's a twin turbo, 1000hp Viper.

    It would only be fairer to compare the TVR with the FXX, even though I'd still take the TVR.

    I take it you have driven many vipers on many different tracks to come to this conclusion?

    8 officially, due to lazy engineering
    followed by a dozen or so private imports; there's one infrequently seen in my area. Not counting WA where LHD is legal
