The F50 was, and is, the greatest Ferrari to ever be made.
Partly because it has a detuned F1 engine, partly the incredible handling, and partly the amazing styling.

Soft Floppy Slow Ugly, a few words that come to mind with the F50 (reviews sucked too). Not even a top 10 ferrari.

It was known for having brutally stiff suspension and chassis, the exact opposite of soft...

And last time I checked, 513hp in 1995 wasn't slow at all.

The Dodge has no place in this group.

I'd take the Mustang, I like it a little bit better than the Camaro, too bad it's not the 2013 model though.
 
Oh yeah!

It might be fairer if it was the older model, (Because the ZL1 has 580hp vs the 2012 GT500 at 550hp. And the 2013 at 650hp. :scared:)

But hey, if I can get another 100hp, then I'm not going to complain. :sly:

But still a softly designed car. And ugly like many ferraris (not all). I like it but its show piece. The spec was good but F40 was 470hp in 1987, both race derived engines (like the F60 after), and stiff due to it being a convertible.

The ugly thing is just a matter of opinion, but how was it a softly designed car?
It was made to be an F1 car for the street, as hardcore as you can get.

And convertibles always have less rigidity, making them heavier to get to the same level of stiffness as their normal version. But the F50 was made out of carbon, so it was plenty stiff.

I'm probably the only one who'd take the Challenger SRT8.

I'd take it over the gt and ss but it's too show compares to fuese Two. I do find it more stylish and better looking though

Though Jeremy Clarkson would attest, power isn't everything. At least in my eyes it's not. Never been a fan of the Mustang, Camaro is alright but I've always liked the Challenger.

As for the Miura and 365, I'd take the Miura. One of the only Lamborghinis I would actually want to buy.

Well, it's also heavier, and when talking muscle cars (which they all pretty much are even with the camaro's track tuned susp.) it's about going fast. If it were as fast as the others I'd take it but it just can't keep up.

As for those last two, I'll take the Ferrari, the Miura is beautiful and yes it's mid engined and awesome but somehow I have never felt much "want" towards it, while the Ferrari is pure coolness (in the cool jazz sense of the word)
 
-> Long time no post! ;)
Now I'd like to toss out abut of a weird one, if you are a rich individual, using your own cash, would you have a Maserati Granturismo S with the automated manual, Jaguar XKR or Aston Martin V8 Vantage S with the automated manual?
^ NEITHER! If I'm a rich individual, I'd take a Vantage V12 with a proper manual! :grumpy:

Here's a hard one:

Porsche 911 GT2 993

RUF CTR2
^ Ooohhhh, ooohhhh, ohhhhhh!!!! I've seen a 993 GT2 in person back in High School, and I savor the 993 CTR2. I'd take BOTH please! :D

Pagani Huayra

Or

McLaren P1
^ Huayra for now, we don't know much about the P1 at the moment...

New one :

Mclaren F1

Or

Ferrari 599 GTO
^ The McDaddy over a douche-inducing Ferrari!? Is that even a question!?

-> Teh F1 for me HANDS DOWN!!!

Would you take

Volvo S80 2.5T 2007 driven 100K KM

or

BMW 523i 2005 driven 100K KM
^ I'll be different here, I'd pick the sensible Volvo. If ain't ///M, forget it!

New one:
E31 850CSi in mint condition and a MT

NA1 NSX in same condition +5K to mod it
^ If the NSX wasn't modded, it would be my choice. But this time I'd take the 850CSi, even with its V12 fears. :drool:

New one for you guys.

Would you take

Camaro ZL1

Or

Challenger SRT-8

Or

Shelby GT500 2013
^ Even if the Camaro is a very good kit (and partially engineered in Aussie-land). I choose the bonkers 'Stang. The Challenger is still a boat w/ a high powered Mercury engine (in marine terms) at the back...

How about:

Lamborghini Miura SV

Or

Ferrari Daytona
^ I don't know if my 6'3 frame would fit in the Miura...I pick the Daytona because I want to be different. ;)

BT -> How about this one?

ZL1 vs. SRT-8 vs. GT500: Tough choice, heck I'll take them all. And create 750-800hp track monsters out of them. :mischievous:👍

Mirua vs Daytona: The Mirua hands down, that's what I call a classic and a legend in the Lamborghini name until the Countash came along(which is another beauty as well.)

Luxury Sedans: Hmmm, the M6, CLS and the RS7 all the way for me. When it comes to a fast, fun and sleek saloon go Audi, MB or BMW. Because ///M, AMG and //RS :sly:.

M6 GranCoupe vs CLS63 vs RS7 vs Rapide S vs Quattroporte vs Panamera:

The Aston is great but it's too expensive for me, so I'll take the RS7. It looks better than the Merc, BMW and Porsche as well as also being cheaper than the Maserati.

Muira vs Daytona;

Daytona as it's a better 'car', particularly when it comes to road trips. The Miura is great but it's a little bit showy for me
