I really liked the ISF when I rode in it, it had some good muscle in it yet it was pretty dang good in the corners, Also the 8 speed is amazing. I'll take the ISF
 
Porsche 997 GT3 RS : Its easier to live with and more track oriented And im a big porsche fan

Would you rather

Mclaren F1 627 HP 6.1 V12 243 MPH 1062 Kilograms

OR

1001HP 8.0 W16 4T 253MPH 1888 Kilograms

Veyron I can re sell it for lots of money's :P
 
McLaren by over a mile.

Seconded. And the Bug is actually heavier than that.

As for ISF vs Camaro, I don't really like the Camaro or gen 1 ISF, but the 13' ISF is really a big improvement and a really desirable car to me.

13' ISF it is, with blue metallic on white leather please.
 
McLaren F1 vs. Bugatti Veyron - Wow, ummm....this is like the oldest comparo ever. But I'll take the F1, the Bugatti says "I'm rich," and the F1 says "I'm a collector."

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs. Lexus IS F - I'll actually take the Camaro. I know the ISF has an 8 speed and blah, but the ZL1 has really grown on me.

And another comparison:

I'll take the Twizy. It might be electric but it's cheap to buy, extemely nippy and agile and has optional scissor doors.

I'll also take the Escape since it's the Kuga in the UK.

LFA for the sound of the V10 and just how awesome the engineering is. I'm assuming that price is no object though.

I'd take the Veyron because the acceleration is just absurd. I don't care if it's heavy and "slow". I'm notgoing to pretend I'm a good enough driver to ever push it to its limits anyway.

IS-F over the Camaro. Camaro is tempting but the IS-F is more my speed. Not to mention that you can fly under the radar a bit, to most people it's just a Lexus sedan.

Ford Escape.

Nissan Leaf because I love the idea of commuting in an electric car.
 
Renault Twizy vs. Nissan Leaf vs. Smart ForTwo vs. Toyota iQ vs. G-Wiz - Definitely the Twizy, the coolest car out there!
 
F1 vs Veyron -
Definitely, definitely F1. The Veyron screams "Look at me!", while the F1 just outlines your awesome taste in cars. Also, it is a masterpiece, whereas the Veyron is just a big, heavy Citroen (YES, I said it!)

IS-F vs Camaro -
No competition. I am a massive Lexus fan, specifically the IS-F. Despite the Camaro's obvious track ability, looks and sound, I would take the IS-F every time. I would like it in either White Pearl or Speedway Blue, thank you very much! xD
 
The LFA is just an overpriced Toyota.

:rolleyes:

Park Avenue VS Bonneville VS Impala VS Aurora VS Seville

The Impala's immediately out because it's just not a very good car. Meh interior, meh exterior, and meh quality. Even if its faster than the prized '96, a front wheel drive Impala SS is just weird. The Bonneville's out because it just looks bad. The Buick's a pretty nice looking car, but the interior's kinda meh, so...yeah. The Aurora's cool, but it to has a kinda dissappointing interior. The Seville is a car I'd actually consider owning if it weren't for the issues with the Northstar engine. It looks nice outside, it looks better than the rest inside, it's faster, and it's probably the comfiest. So I guess that means I'll take the Seville, even though I wouldn't. Huh.

Torino VS Firebird

Holy unfair comparison, Batman. Regardless, I'll still take the Firebird, even with that ugly mug, because of reasons.

LFA VS Gallardo VS F430 VS GT3

The Gallardo's not as nice looking as the last one; they really effed up that update. It's a nice supercar, but it's a little too common as far as supercars go. The Ferrari's also pretty nice, but the looks are just too boring for me. The Porsche is probably a real hoot, but the problem here is that the LFA exists. The LFA's just a masterpiece in workmanship and engineering. It's one of the few current cars you can say is overengineered, like an old Mercedes. It sounds good and apparently it drives pretty good too, so I'll take it.

F1 VS Veyron

Neither are too interesting to me (I have weird tastes), but I'd choose the F1. Though the Veyron's much more livable, quieter and more comfortable, I really wouldn't want a car of its caliber to feel so normal. The F1 will have more rattles, vibrations and noise, but it'll all enhance the experience of driving it. The unique seating position will also help to create a more memorable driving experience.

ZL1 VS IS-F

Tough one. The ZL1's a badass car, has a meatier exhaust note and looks a whole lot more menacing than the IS-F. But the IS-F's a Lexus, which means it'll be more comfortable, quiet and luxurious. It's not a particularly interesting car to look at, but I found the interior to be alright when I sat in one. But I have to take the Camaro. Bunker-like visibility aside, it's just a cooler, more exciting car.

Escape VS CR-V VS Outlander VS Forester

I'm assuming you're talking about the new for 2013 Forester, even though you've got a '12 model pictured. Anyways, the Outlander is immediately out, because it's a Mitsubishi, and there's just something inherently unappealing about a Mitsubishi. The Honda's out because it's kinda boring. The new Forester's a pretty sharp looking thing, but it has a CVT. The Escape's a really nice looking little crossover, and the interior looks and feels great. The 2.5 liter engine may be a snoozer, but its no worse than any of the other base models here, except maybe the Forester. Boxer engines are always interesting.

428i VS A5

The Audi's a very good looking car, but the design's kinda getting stale now. The interior, like any Audi, is kinda blah, though good quality. The new 4-Series is a beautiful car, and it has a nice interior to match. It's also rear wheel drive, which is always more interesting than the Audi's four wheel drive.

Would you rather

OR

Bugatti 16.4 Veyron 1001HP 8.0 W16 4T 253MPH 1888 Kilograms
^ LOL WUT!? Another comparo to the McDaddy!? On which has no chances of winning!? Never compare the McDaddy!


Would you rather have:

The 55,000$ (USD) 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Or

The 57,000$ (USD, invoice) 2013 Lexus IS F
^ As much as I dislike the current gen Camaro, compared to the bonkers Lexus. My pick would be the ZL1 because its a bargain/budget CTS-V Coupe, not that I would chose it over the epic CTS-V Wagon! But I think GM got it right on this one (maybe along w/ the Z/28 too). I've driven the SS and I was very underwhelmed by it.

^ I'd take the Forester wih the M/T. You just can't go wrong with it, overall it will last longer than the others, and a true AWD system. Not the ones that you have to wait to engage when the front wheels slip...

^ Easy, the Toyota iQ 1.33 w/ 6M/T! Since Scion was lazy enough not to bring over its M/T version here, I want this very iQ so badly!!!


BMW 428i

OR​

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI
^ Who cares!? I already have an E46 M3 ZCP. I never like both of them either...

:sly:
 
F1 VS Veyron- veyron easier to live with even though I like the F1 to.

ZL1 VS IS-F- IS-F because its rarer than the ZL1 and more practical than it too.

Escape VS CR-V VS Outlander VS Forester- Escape because I don't really like the other three.

428i VS A5- 4 series because its better looking and has rear wheel drive.
 
Buick vs. Pontiac vs. Chevrolet vs. Oldsmobile vs. Cadillac
Cadillac for the simple fact that it is the only V8 and most luxurious car of the group.

Torino 429 vs. Trans Am SD-455
As much as I love horsepower, I'm also a big fan of the Trans Am. I'd take both cars in a heart beat but I'd rather have the Trans Am

LFA vs.Gallardo vs. F430 vs. GT3 RS 4.0
Nice selection of cars GranTurismo916 👍... Again, just like the Torino and Trans Am, I'd gladly take any of these cars, but I'd rather have the LFA since there aren't many of these.

McLaren F1 vs. Bugatti Veyron
I've always been a fan of this car since the beginning of the Need For Speed series. Although I think the Veyron is faster and possibly more practical, I'd still choose the F1. Also if I'm not mistaking, isn't the McLaren F1 still the fastest naturally aspirated production car in the world?

Camaro ZL1 vs. IS F
Truth be told it all depends on what I intend on using the car for, weekend car ZL1, daily driver IS F. Having to choose one of the two, I'll take the Camaro and have the guys at LMR work their magic.

Escape S vs. CR-V IX vs. Outlander ES vs. Forester 2.5X
I'd rather have the Outlander ES just for the simple fact that it's the best looking small suv of the bunch.

BMW 428i vs. Audi A5 2.0 TFSI
This is the first time I've heard or seen a picture of the 428i. I think it's a nice looking car and you can definitely tell from its apperance that it's a bridge between the 3-series and 6-series coupe. I don't really have much to say about the Audi, but that would the car I'd rather have out of the two.

^ I would have to disagree. The McDaddy is far more practical than the 16.4. The F1 has a custom luggage set that are pre fitted on the two compartments you have. And its dead reliable (ask Rowan Atkinson). Plus 1 more passenger is always a plus! ;)
 
I love the look of the Audi inside and out, something I can't say for the Bimmer, but the BMW will almost certaily be more fun to drive, so I have to take it.
 
McLaren F1 v. Bugatti Veyron: I'll have the McLaren. Just a cooler car IMO.

Camaro ZL1 v. Lexus ISF: Kind of a weird comparison since one is a 580hp track/muscle car and one is a 425hp (not sure of exact output) sports sedan. I'll have the ZL1 simply because it would be more fun.

Escape S v. CR-V IX v. Outlander ES v. Forester 2.5X: Escape.

Aztek v. Scwinn: Aztek. It has an engine, and it will go long distances without killing me. :lol:
 
-> ...

^ Seems like an unfair comparison. The Torino should be matched up against the GTO not the Trans Am. Anyhow, the Torino gets my vote.

You must remember the ways in which each vehicle was dynoed. The Torino's engine was at the crank, and factoring in drivetrain loss, it would lose a significant amount of power before it hits the wheels. The Firebird as a chassis dyno, and those are rear wheel figures. Crank figures would probably be much closer to the Torino.
