You'll go deaf in 3 months, it will fall apart in 6 months and you won't figure out what half the buttons do (if anything), but don't worry because you'll kill yourself the first week. If you can manage not to crash it you won't ever be able to sell it.

And speaking of cost, it's 50,000 British pounds or $107,382.00, which coincidentally is almost the exact MSRP of a Porsche 911 turbo. The corvette tested in top gear isn't a Z06 either. It's basically 50k base model, inarguably at least half of the price of the TVR (not even counting fvck-me-in-the-ass import costs). The comparison isn't very apt, it's like comparing an STi to a Civic Si, this isn't Top Gear's best test.

"Of course with four hundred brake horsepower under the bonnet in a car that weights only eleven hundred kilograms it can still kill you. But unlike any other TVR I've actually driven this one doesn't feel like it actually wants to."

Where is the other part of that episode? I want to see what beats it :D

I have it somewhere, I'm copying a bunch of them for Marc, I'll see if I run across it.
