I pick the LTD. only because we had a metallic brown '73 Impala pillar less 4-door. It was clean but, my Father mainly bought 2-door cars back in the 1970's
 
You guys have it all wrong muscle car convertibles is where its at! My next Mustang will be a 'vert but than again I have 300+ days of sunshine a year to play with.
 
convertible top

:lol: It's a vinyl top. It's what my car has and it's what a lot of old cars had.



------------



I'd take the Bel Air. 1. Because it's not a convertible (I wouldn't want an old convertible unless it was a garage queen) 2. Because it's better looking (the grille on the Ford is horrendous, reminds me of some 70s Pontiacs) 3. Four doors. The only thing I don't really like about it is the 3 speed. A 4 speed would be nice[r].
 
I'd take the LTD. I like the looks of it more than the Bel-Air.

Here's another one...

Ex-FWPD 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor - $8,950 - 65,635 miles
Unfortunately the page won't let me copy the image URL or save the image, so this will have to do. Just picture it without the decals and police equipment.

2005 Toyota Camry LE - $8,495 - 118,254 miles
Same situation as above.

I'd take the Vic, no question. I hate the Camry with a burning passion (mainly because a good portion of their drivers don't know how to drive). Also, I could scare the crap out of people with the Vic, as FWPD (and several other surrounding agencies) still use black and white Vics like that. Though FWPD is phasing out their Vics with the Taurus and Caprice.
 
Crown Vic. Camrys are boring in every sense of the word. I'm not even sure you can possibly know what acceleration even is in one of them unless you had a V6 car. I had a friend with one of those and it went pretty good.
 
French hot hatches: I'll have the R5T as it's rear drive on a short wheelbase making it super fun.

Volare vs Z/28: Camro easily.

Bikes and Trike; I'll take the Can-Am.

Crown Vic vs dull car: Crown Vic without question
 
The Crown Vic would probably be more fun, but I can't imagine it'd be all that fuel efficient, so I'll take the Camry.

or

800px-MG_MGA_Roadster_%28Orange_Julep%29.jpg
 
I'll take the MGA. The 356 is the true culprit behind the infamous '911 is a Beetle' reputation
 

:lol:

Crown Victoria vs Camry - The Camry is a FWD bore-fest, so there is no way I will be taking that. Crown Vic it is, then!

1. Crown Victoria
2. Camry

Porsche 356 vs MG A - I'm just not sticking to my "No Convertibles" rule! The 356 looks awful, so I'd rather have an old, wobbly, convertible, low-powered MG over it. Just look at the MG's rear wheel arches though; this car has beautiful lines.

1. MG A
2. Porsche 356
 
Ford Crown Victoria Police Car vs Toyota Camry; The Crown Vic due to similar reasons that other people have said so far; RWD, V8, & the Camry is a dull car.

Porsche 356 vs MGA; The Porsche, because I like Porsches!
 
Tuatara vs Venom - Venom without a doubt. The SSC looks like some futuristic prototype from the 80s, which I hate; why do manufacturers even think about including a space-style bubble for the driver to sit in? Look at the SSC's seating area, it's the same colour throughout and it is in the shape of a massive bubble; in my opinion, it looks awful! On another note, the Venom very closely represents an Exige, which I love, making my choice all the easier.

1. Venom
2. Tuatara
 
The Venom's just a rebodied Exige.
The tub and head/tail lights are based off an Exige, but really what you just said is a real stretch. Alot of it is different.

As for which Id choose, until SSC have a fully working example sold to someone Im gonna go with the Venom.
 
The tub and head/tail lights are based off an Exige, but really what you just said is a real stretch.

Chassis too, unless that's what you mean by tub.

It's still essentially related to another car though, the SSC is a totally fresh 'n unique car.
 
The tub only consists of the small part where the driver sits in... The whole rear structure, suspension, engine, brakes, cooling, gearbox, etc. are all different. Heck they even rotated the engine 180 degrees and the car sprouted a wider track, longer wheelbase.

Yeah its not bespoke, but not just a re-bodied Exige, FAR from it.
 
'10 Ex-FWPD Crown Victoria vs. '05 Camry LE

I'd take the Crown Vic

Porsche 356 vs. MG MGA

I'd rather have the Porsche

Overpowered American Hypercars

I would rather have the SSC Tuatara if it were in production.

Would You Rather: Muscle Bikes

2013 Ducati Diavel Carbon MSRP: $20,495

OR

2013 Yamaha Star VMax MSRP: $19,990
2013-Yamaha-Star-VMax.jpg

Crown Vic, definitely. Old police interceptors arekind of cool, and the Crown Vic is as reliable as the Camry.

MGA. Though if I can get the 356 with one of the more powrful engines I might go for it.

Venom GT. It's not hideous, and it seems to be pretty legitimate.

The Rapide S is out because I hate the big grille and the car is just big in general. The Vantage S is out because the parts look a bit tacky. The DB7 GT and DB7 Vantage are out because they don't really match the performance of the newer Astons. The Virage is out because I just....don't like it, there's really no reason. Between the new Vanquish, the Vanquish AMW, and the DBS, I'll take the DBS. There's almost nothing that I don't like about this car. Looks, performance, everything is just great (except for the price. :P).

I thought this was a WYR for cars....

It's not necessarily exclusive to cars. In the OP it says "You post vehicles (try not to post more than two) in the same price range
note: If one is used and the other is new try to take into account the mileage and possible maintenance costs into the price equation to keep it interesting."
