That's tough. I think I'd have to go with the Porsche. I've never beena fan of the 360, for whatever reason.
 
I'll be different and not choose top of the line V8s this time, instead I'll use other options they came with.

1971 Dodge Demon 340

Engine: 340ci (5.6L) 4bbl V8
Horsepower: 275
Torque: 340 lb-ft

1971 Mercury Cyclone GT

Engine: 351ci (5.8L) Cleveland 4V V8
Horsepower: 285
Torque: 370 lb-ft

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (996) vs Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale vs Lotus Esprit Sport 350

Esprit, although I do have a soft spot for both the Ferrari and Porsche. The Esprit is one of my favourite ever cars, especially the 350. I saw one the other month actually, dream come true.


70s American rubbish vs more 70s American rubbish


The Dodge because it's green. I like green.
 
Porsche 911 v. Ferrari 360 v. Lotus Esprit: Easily the Ferrari. No matter how hard core the 911 may be, it's still just a boring 911 to me. And the Lotus isn't interesting enough to me.

Dodge Demon v. Mercury Cyclone: Demon. If I want a muscle car I want it to look like a muscle car. The Mercury just doesn't, to me. Also, my neighbor has a Demon and it's a pretty cool car. He never drives it because it doesn't have brakes, though.
 
Cyclone vs Demon; I have to take the Demon this time round; the I'm not a fan of that variant of the cyclone tbh, but I love the Demon; it looks sort of beastly.
 
Dodge Demon, even though I'm not a muscle car fan and wouldn't ever want to own one, bright green cars are always cool.
 
Elise. Much prefer it and it's a rarity around here. I have seen one before though. Was nice but it was lacking something. The Audi wouldn't get the looks an Elise would, at least around here. Doesn't stand out as much.
 
Don't even know why they're being compared but Elise all the way.

The TT is a great looking car as a coupé but as a convertible it has more than a whiff of Volkswagen New Beetle about it. Not to mention that it's on the same platform. Plus it isn't the 3.2 V6.
 
Dodge Demon 340 vs. Mercury Cyclone GT - Demon, for all the reasons others have stated.

Lotus Elise 111R vs. Audi TT 1.8T - Easily the Lotus, they're rare here. I really like the TT though.
 
Ford Fiesta WRC vs. Ford Fiesta GRC

Something about being somewhat street-legal seems very appealing to me but I think I'd rather have the GRC car.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (996) vs. Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale vs. Lotus Esprit Sport 350

Easy, I'd rather have the GT3 but in black with green decals.

'71 Dodge Demon 340 vs. '71 Mercury Cyclone GT

I'd rather have the Cyclone

'04 Lotus Elise 111R vs. '04 Audi TT 1.8T

I'd rather have the Lotus

Battle of the Fiestas: Easily the WRC Fiesta. Now, where's a rally track so I can do some wild jumps and drifting! :D

911 GT3 RS 996 vs. Lotus Esprit 350 vs. 360 SC: Tough choice, but I'll go with the GT3RS and Lotus a close second, since they are the rarest versions of both cars.

Easily the Elise and make mine a bright green. ;)

The Demon wins hands down! Now, give me a 392ci V8 Mopar block for it and paint her black and red. True demon....:mischievous:👍

Thunderbird vs. Vette: Tough choice, but I'll go with the Birth of The Legend C1 Vette. :)
 
Elise because the TT looks so boring and dull and probably drives like that compared to the Elise.
'Vette because it's a 'Vette.
