So here's a question -- how does a Cobra 289 stack up against a TVR Tuscan V8? I'm aware of the technical differences, I'm more interested in driving differences. Spec-wise, the TVR's tubular backbone chassis with double-A arm suspension on all four corners should be a step up from a Cobra. A guy who owns a body shop here in my town has a Tuscan (and a Cobra replica). I just haven't been able to stop by yet to look at it while it was in his shop. He usually keeps it at his house.



Personally I've always had a soft spot for TVR's.
