For the last 3 years or so I've been having a blast driving a TVR Chimaera - 4 litres of raw power, 260bhp, 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, no namby-pamby traction control or the like. It's a bit of a beast! But now it's time for a change. I wanted a little more comfort, and two extra seats would be handy now we have 3 children, it means my wife and I don't have to take out the MPV when we just have our baby (while the other two are at school). So I have ordered an RX-8 - no pillars (something called suicide doors instead - I hope they're safe), no pistons (a rotaty engine called Renesis instead) - I like the techy aspect of this car - seems to fit neatly, and it's still powerfull enough (to be honest you can't appreciate the TVR power on the road, you need a track) I'll let you know how I get on...
Two great web sites for TVR and Mazda:
