Mustang vs Trans Am: Mach 1 for me.

Skyline vs Passat: The Passat, since it's less likely to fall apart.

12C vs Superleggera:The 12C is very capable but it's extremely soulless and boring to look at. Superleggera is my choice.

V12 Astons: I'll have the Rapide S. I want cross continents quickly in great comfort.
 
12C and DB9, I'll say. And then sell them both for profit, if possible.

The Plymouth looks like more of a muscle car than a '76 Camaro, not to mention it's Mopar, so I'll have the Volare.
 
French Hatches - I'll take the Renault 5 Turbo, the 205 looks dull despite the praise I've heard about it. Cheers to Murcie_LP640 for helping me out with these cars, I'm clueless when it comes to old hatches!

1. Renault 5 Turbo
2. Peugeot 205

Volare vs Camaro - My weird taste in car styling is drawing me towards the Volare. Luckily for me, the Volare is either the same, or better than the Camaro in every field. I'll pick the Volare and give it a pair of hefty rear tires, as well as upgrade the suspension, exhaust, body and brakes. Maybe even raise the horsepower a bit, who knows?

1. Volare
2. Camaro

The Camaro. And only one of those cars is a Renault, neither is modified, but neither of them are by any means normal either!
 
Bodyguard
Renaults - I'll take the white and black race modded one, please! I have no idea what its name is, they both look like 205s to me.

1. Race modded Renault
2. Normal Renault

Oh Lordy.

Just to clear this up for you, the top one is a Renault 5 Turbo, the bottom one is a Peugeot 205 GTi.

I'd take the Peugeot, and the Plymouth because the '76 Camaro doesn't have the front end that I love on the early 70's ones.

Thanks for that, never been much of a hot hatch guy, especially the old ones. Interestingly, I was thinking of the Renault 5 Turbo when I said 205, so I've definitely seen these cars before :lol:
 
I'd argue that they're homologation special mid engined sports cars that have been given body shells resembling hatchbacks built by the same marque for marketing reasons.

aka Boss Mustangs. Makes sense 👍
 
Renault 5 Turbo and Can its a tough call on the '70s Muscle I dislike the 2nd gen Camaros and most mopars dont do it for me. I will have to settle for the Camaro.

Except a Boss Mustang is still front engined.

True, but homologation was what I was getting at.

I find first and second gen Camaros the best, followed by early F-bodies. After that I hate them.
 
Renault 5 Turbo vs Peugeot 205 Turbo 16; The 205! I prefer the look of it over the 5 Turbo and I think the Peugeot is more powerful than the Renault.

1978 Plymouth Volare Roadrunner vs 1976 Chevrolet Camaro Z28; The RoadRunner since it's better than the Camaro in terms of performance. Although, I prefer the look of the Camaro over the Road Runner.
 
Cortina vs. XR4i vs. RS2000 MK2 vs. Capri

I'd rather have the Lotus

French Cars

I'd rather have the Peugot

Duster vs. Niva

I'd rather have the Duster

AC ACE vs. C1 Corvette

Although the AC may be worth more, I'd still rather have the C1 Vette

Country Squire vs. 740 Turbo Wagon

I'd rather have the Squire, as long as I had the funds to mod the crap out of it like most people do in Forza 4 and Forza Horizon.

'03 Mach 1 vs. '99 Trans Am WS.6

I'm not even gonna lie, I'm completely biased on this one. I'd rather have the '99 Trans Am

Elgrand vs. Town & Country

Based purely on looks I'd rather have the Elgrand. I don't know a single thing about the Elgrand but I do know from personal experience (roadtrip to Texas) how extremely convenient the Town & Country is.

Stratus vs. Taurus

I personally wouldn't want to own either of the two but if I must, I'd rather have the Stratus.

Skyline vs. Passat

I'd rather have the Skyline

'12 MP4-12C vs. '12 Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera

As much as I like both cars I'd rather have the McLaren. Nothing against the Lamborghini but I think the McLaren is currently one of the most under appreciated supercars.

Aston Martin V12's

I'd rather have the Rapide S

Renault vs. Peugot

I'd rather have the Renault

'76 Z/28 vs. '78 Roadrunner

Late 70's era muscle cars are my second least favorite period of muscle cars. Having to choose between the two I'd rather have the Roadrunner, since the Z/28 is a dime a dozen.

LTD, because it doesn't look as boring as the Bel Air. Also, because it has more torque & a 4 speed transmission. I like having more gears in a car with a lot of power and torque.

I'm not big on more gears kind of thing. I prefer less shifting :lol: I like going faster over a long time and watching the revs slowly rise.

I'm surprisingly warming to the Yamaha - I love its styling. I could take the storage boxes off the sides and make it look like more of a sport bike, too! The 3 wheeler is the last one I would take; if I'm to get a bike, I want the full bike experience. Balancing is one of the best parts about riding a bike, and that 3 wheeler just loses that whole concept.

Despite the stupid 3 speed, I will be taking the Bel Air. I prefer the Bel Air's styling, since it can be related to a 1970 Chevelle (besides the side indicator lights that stick out from the front), and it even has the 454 LS6 engine! That's my choice and my only regret is the convertible top; I usually hate them, but these cars are so floppy anyway so a missing roof won't change their handling too much anyway. Also, the roof would fall apart around the same time the car would. Really old Muscle cars are the exception to my "No Convertibles" rule.
 
^^^The Bel Air is a hardtop in the one I posted.

I wouldn't mind owning a '73 Mustang convertible or a conversion MII convertible. That's about the limit to muscle car convertibles.
