Brtish Sports Cars

[TwinTurbo]

There is a British manufacturer in the game, They have a roadster and I think two more cars.  They seem pretty nice, enough stock hp and light weight.  I can't remember the name.  My question is, when souped up which is better the Lotus V8 or the second of this mystery maker?

Does that make sense?

 

[Chaoz]

No, doesn't make sense at all. If I knew what's the name of the manufacturer.
Is it TVR ??? Coz TVR has good cars, but I think that the Elise is better to handle.
Also, those TVR's have some kickass colours don'tyafink¿

 

[TwinTurbo]

Ok.  I think it is the TVR.  So my question is which is better, the second TVR, or the 1st V8 Lotus?

it could be the aston martin

buy the vanquish

 

[TwinTurbo]

No it wasn't The Aston, it was a company I hadn't heard of before and It was about 100k cr., comprable to the Lotus.

The TVR dealer has three cars, a griffith 500, a Tuscan Speed 6 (cerberra) and a Speed 12.

The Speed 6 is a GREAT car.  Its fast as all get out, handles like a dream, and John Travolta Made good use of one in Swordfish.

I don't like the lotus cars.  They seem kinda scared.  I don't know a better way to explain it.

Thanks Brian, A Tuscan it is, I need a car that can take the European Champonship because my TT just couldn't do anything in that series.

It was the Vauxhall VX220.  That is the only comparable car to the Lotus Elise.  It may have been called the Opel Speedster in your version?  Vauxhall and Opel are the same company but with different names, Vauxhall is UK, Opel in the rest of Europe.  Both however are part of GM.

The VX220 was designed by the lotus team who made the Elise, it retails in the UK for roughly £20,000 which is about $30,000.  Its a great looking car and quicker that the present Elise.

TVR, Aston Martin are 5-10 times the price of the Elise/VX220, so they would never be comparable.
