So how different are they to drive ( assuming both latest models)

I drove the peninsiula T350 last week ( thanx guys) and found it a very usable car, nice and pointy and i didnt have any tram lining, even driving over moor roads. It behaved in traffic and stuck to the road like glue when there wasnt any I was also please by a lack of banging and jaring from either the suspension or the body.

The only problem is the roof!!!!

I've not yet driven the tamora ( i suppose i need to arrange a back to back drive) but was interested in opinons ( no arguments please)

The peninsula Tamora looked cool in grey although i think the sign writing on the arse end went some way to hiding that j-lo esc fat arse... the front 3/4 was stunning.

Well, there are almost identical. The T350 has slightly different suspension settings and the suspension is adjustable. (I have some bare chassis pics somewhere) It's a wee bit stiffer and on the track it pulls out of corners slightly quicker than the Tamora.

To be honest though, there is very little in it as Me and Nubbin showed at Bruntingthorpe when we ran neck and neck for several laps, I pulled a slight gap on the corners but he seemed to make it up on the straights, although I was only using 5,000 revs at the time due to me only having done 2K miles.

Go for the one you like the most, I like a hard top and love the looks which is why I changed...

I think they are on the Tamora too. I was having a look at my suspension and it looks to be adjustable. Its a later model so I don't know if that makes a difference?

I agree totally with flasher. The difference is in looks, and preference for open/closed top, not in performance - although flasher's "mods" are not officially available for the Tamora, which is a shame, and a mistake.

So, choose which you prefer - open or roofless - either way, you will get a fantastic, head-turning, grin-inducing, brilliant car!

(And I will be asking the factory for the mods to go on my Tamora, when I've saved up again! )

Let's see a picture - I can have a look at mine to see what that looks like...
