Really tough.. That GMC is nasty fast and seems slightly more practical for every day driving. The defender is very tough and perfect for offroad and bad weather.

Id have to go with the Defender though.. Mainly because the year and price. Do they really run around $22k??
 
Cobalt SS VS Beretta Z26 VS Camaro Z28: The Cobalt SS Sedan is not a very exciting looking car, and the coupe is no different. The coupe just looks awkwardly long and cheap, especially from the rear. It looks boy-racer and immature, and its interior is bland, and the material quality is ghastly. I don't know much about the Beretta, but it looks alright, and I assume performance must be decent. Again, I don't know much about it. The Camaro, while not my favorite body style, looks alright, has an interior that at least looks alright, even if material quality isn't good. But it's a rear wheel drive, V8 muscle car, so it's the best choice by far.

V8 Vantage VS 575: Hmm, tough one. Two cars I don't really like. The Ferrari hasn't aged well, and looks very dated. At least the Aston looks alright, but I don't like it compared to the rest of the lineup. I guess I'll take the Vantage.

Sledgehammer VS Ultimate Aero: I don't really like tuners, but I'll take the Sledgehammer, because it's a Corvette, and the name is fantastic.

'92 Supra VS '94 Supra: The 4th generation Supra is one of my favorite cars ever. So, obviously, I'll take the '94.

'92 MR2 VS '86 MR2: Ooh, toughie. The '92 is faster, looks better, and I'd bet parts are easier to find for it. But the '86 is more simplistic, has a stick shift, and is more involving to drive. I'll take the '86, because you don't buy a Mister Two to be coddled, so I don't see why you'd want one with an automatic. Now, if I could find a manual gearbox to put into the '92, I'd take the '92, because the looks are two good to pass up.

Typhoon VS Defender: Typhoons are pretty neat SUVs, but I've never liked GM's compact SUVs of the 90s; they all look narrow and wimpy. And two door SUVs just aren't my thing. I've never been a big fan of the Defender, but it looks pretty neat, but it'd have to be a four door model with an automatic; a manual transmission with a large SUV doesn't sound fun.

That's not exactly a fair comparison considering you're using a used car with American prices versus a new car with Australian prices...down here the E63 actually costs about $160,000+.

In which case considering the performance compared to the price of the Falcon I'd take that over the Merc.
 
Typhoon just because it's a Ty and they are good at anything other than what you'd need a Defender for... While the Defender is crap at everything except what the Ty doesn't do well.

FPV GT because big angry Ford sedan > big angry Benz.
 
A looonnggg list eh? I'll make it simple:

Camaro Z28, because RWD and V8 ;)👍

Sledgehammer, because Corvette.

575, because Ferarri and I don't really like the V8 Vantage though.

SW20 MR2 because 3SGTE and my favorite MR2 :D.

MK4 JZA80 Supra, because 2JZ and 90's classic :D.

Defender, because unique and rare, even though I love the GMC.

FPV GT, because rarity and a beast of a Falcon ;)👍.

Nissan 300ZX Z32.

The classic Z is tempting, but I've always liked the style of the Z32, so 300ZX it is.

Edit: Both are manual, and the 300ZX is the turbo model.

I was never really a fan of the 300. My dad had a 240, too, so that pushes my vote that way.
