cerbera 4.2 vs porsche 911turbo
Discussion
well, what other cars can the 4.2 trash, not including what was featured in that video..... hasn't anyone trashed any porsche turbo's, ferrari's, or lambo's.....
any of the modern supercars.. I've heard many times on how bias top gear and jeremy clarkson are about british cars when comparing them with other cars. I've also been told that the video actually featured a cerbera with a 4.5 developement engine and not a 4.2 at all as jeremy claimed. So i cant rely on the video and need some real proof.

I have a 4.5 and have previously owned a 911 T2(genuine 355bhp), not exactly the comparision your'e looking for but for what its worth I'm sure the Cerbera would leave the T2 after 100+mph. Also worth mentioning is that a friend who has a 4.5 LW is about to chop it for a 993 T4 and he was crazy about the Cerbera until he drove the Porker.Not conclusive I know but interesting all the same.

This subject has been done before, and the consensus from those that know was that it was a 4.2.
BTW the 4.2s are generally quicker than the 4.5s
Well I've driven both and raced with both and in a straight line there is very little in it. They are pretty equal up until 100mph then the Cerb will pull away slightly. As for cornering the Porsche won every time, but the Cerb was standard I don't know if suspension alterations would have improved this any.
I don't know about super cars but I have met high end modded Skylines (550+ bhp) who were faster in both a straight line and totally out cornered the TVR

I've driven a Dialblo SV at full noise up to about 130mph and while it was VERY fast, I'd say the early Cerbera 4.2 I drove a couple of months back was even faster up to that point, just ferocious through the gears, as already mentioned you have to experience it to believe it!

Don't forget Jeremy CLarkson put the Diable against the Aston Vantage and the Vantage won, the Cerbera destroyed the Aston on the standing mile, therefore IS quicker than a Diablo.
Have to say (and I am an avid defender of the Cerbera's reputation) but having been in a 996 TT and having owned and been in various Cerberas the 996TT is just miles ahead - ok maybe not on a the straight (although I would think there is little in it) but once yoiu get twists and turns the 996 is gone...tweak the suspension all you want guys you will not catch a Turbo porsche - Cerbies are awesome but the 996 TT is frightening the way it gets you round everything at speed.....be very surprised if a cerbera outpaces a 996 at Bruntingthorpe...
