I said CRZ at first but like the other people said the CRX would be easily modifiable and probably take more abuse.

I normally take the Mercs over the Bimmers but this time I pick the BMW.
 
850CSi vs SL600
That's a very tough one...
While I do prefer 4 seaters over 2, the M120 in the SL600 was great. Heck, even Pagani used the same engine in the original Zonda C12.

The 850CSi was a great car, but I'd have to go with the SL600 ;).

Ugh, another tough choice. Can I have them both then? ;)

If not, I'll take the V12 powered SL R1 anytime. If this was the V8 version SL500, then the BMW wins.

^ Although I like the SL600 very much. I'd go for the E31, because...

^ Unlike others, I like to keep my CR-X stock as possible. :)
 
CR-Z vs. CRX: CR-Z because you can save money on gas
E31 vs. R129: R129 because that E31 is butt ugly

Ford RS200 Evo: $159,500

VS.
Ford GT: $149,999

Both of these cars are Mid Engined, Ford, Two Seaters that have more European parts than american. I would have the RS200 Evo personally because it performs better than the GT and is AWD
 
R129 over 850CSi because I love the R129's looks. Plus it has more power and more torque, even though the difference in performance is marginal.

And GT over RS200 because cheaper and twin-screw supercharger. RS200 is a legend in its own right but I love a supercharger whine which it doesn't have.
 
BMW 850CSI VS Mercedes Benz SL600 (R129) the BMW it more rarer than the SL
Ford RS200 Evo VS Ford GT its pretty hard to choose, but ill go with the GT for the Hennessy Twin Turbo and its the record holder
 
E31 VS R129 - Really hard to choose, always is with Mercs vs Bimmers. I really like that E31 so I would rather have that.


RS200 VS GT - Ford GT because supercharger but the RS200 would be a very nice and unique car to have.
 
Just to put things in perspective

Ford RS200 Evo: 4WD, 550-815 Possible HP, 1050 KG, 0-60 2 Seconds
Ford GT: MR, 550 HP, 1520 KG, 0-60 3.6 Second

How is the GT leading?
 
BMW 850CSI VS Mercedes Benz SL600 (R129) BMW, mostly because it looks better.
Ford RS200 Evo VS Ford GT RS200, probably.
 
CRZ vs CRX: I would without a doubt go for the CRX, one my favorite cars.

850CSI vs SL600: BMW 850CSI, really like the older BMW's with the shark nose front.

Ford RS200 vs Ford GT40: RS200, great piece of motoring history a Group b classic
 
CRZ VS CRX - Easy, CRX, because it'll be a hoot to drive, get better gas mileage, it's a classic, and it's not a stupid hybrid sports car.

850CSI VS SL600 - This is a tough one, but I'll go for the BMW, because it's rarer, still looks relatively modern, and it's high tech. But then again, the Merc is almost all of those too. D'oh. Alright, I choose the BMW for no logical reason. :dopey:

Alright, here's one.

1960 Austin Mini

OR

1960 Fiat 500

OR

1960 Volkswagen Beetle

E30 M3 vs 190e Evo - Usually I'd go with the BMW. But the 190 is rarer and more exclusive. So this time the Merc.

991 vs 993 - 993 Turbo please. I'm really not liking the ass lift they gave the new Porsches.

MR-S vs MG - Hmm.. I'd have any other gen MR2 tbh. Both are to girly and hairdresser like.

LFA vs R8 V10 - Both V10 so the sounds good. Audi reminds me of a squashed beetle or TT or a road hump. In other words I don't like the way it looks. LFA wins.

S65 vs 450 SEL - Not much of a fan of Mercs. I suppose S65 because newer.

CR-Z vs CRX - CRX as long as it hasn't been ragged by some boy racer.

8-series vs SL - 8 series is way cooler and rarer. BMW it is

RS200 Evo vs GT - Easy. RS200 Evo. My fave era of Rallying. And one of the cars that unfortunately ended it. Also with the full boost from the turbo. That's 580hp (800hp's fine if you wanna do Pikes Peak). The GT has no chance round my twisty country roads.

Mini vs Fiat vs Beetle - Mini. Because well Mini and the Fiat 500 isn't an Abarth.

760Li VS Phantom - The Phantom. It has the size, it has the presence, it has the style, it has the status. With a car like the Phantom you would be the king of the road, and you probably wouldn't cut off as much. Plus it looks better, is much more plush and luxurious, is a Rolls, and unlike the BMW, I would never have to worry about losing it in a parking lot.

Edit : D'oh, the post that I responded to appears to have been deleted.

E30 M3 vs 190e Evo - 190e, easy choice. As much as I like the way that the E30 looks, the Merc is just better in that department for me.

991 vs 993 - 993 please. They are some of the best looking 911's out there.

MR-S vs MG - MR-S, they are very fun cars, with endless engine swaps or F/I support. Would rather sell it for a 1st gen MR2 though, they are the real lookers in that family tree.

LFA vs R8 V10 - The LFA, it's the modern day 2000GT. The sound, the way it goes (for the times), and the price tag, all reminiscent of Toyota's first master piece.

S65 vs 450 SEL - The 450, it's quick but relaxed. Plus you've gotta love the old boxy Merc's

CR-Z vs CRX - CR-Z. I really like the concept, and have heard they nice to drive. Plus I think they look better.

8-series vs SL - The 8. Great looking, uncommon, V12, and pop up headlights. What more could one ask for?

RS200 Evo vs GT - Not a massive fan of either, but the GT would be my choice out of the two.

Mini vs Fiat vs Beetle: The Mini, it's close with the Beetle, but the Mini has a certain presence to it.
