Here's one:

1970 Ferrari 308

Or

2011 Lotus Evora
white_evora-4e0dcbeaaa91c.jpg


Both at £40,000

Personally I would go for the Lotus
 
Lotus. More reliable, better looking (imo), more reliable, probably more room, faster I'm guessing, more reliable, etc. Etc.
 
Prindiville Land Rover Defender vs Brabus G55 AMG Brabus cause it looks badass and it's fast.


1970 Ferrari 308 vs 2011 Lotus Evora Ferrari cause it looks better and it's a classic.
 
308 vs Evora - Magnum Pi? Hmmm... No Thanks. I'll take the Evora. It's Probably quicker and has better handling anyway.
 
Ferrari 308 VS Lotus Evora - The Evora, it's newer, looks better, and I'd assume it's more comfortable and reliable, and it's more luxurious. As for the Ferrari, no thanks, not really a Ferrari person. :indiff:

Between the neon and cavalier, Cavalier.
GM small cars last longer and cheaper/easier to work on.

Now, how about Cavalier vs Corsica (both 2.2)

^ I'd get picked on after this, I choose the Corsica. When I was a kid, the Corsica was a Clark AFB Taxi (in the Philippines). So basically, I chose the Corsica just because of nostalgia. The Cavalier is so annonymous in my book.

Out with the slow, old, boring, cheap cars and in with the fast and beautiful cars.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

v.

Jaguar XK-R

^ If that Aston was a V12V, it would be a hands-down pick. But even if I'm not feeling for the V8, I'd still pick the V8V (make mine 6MT) over the Jaaaagggg any day.

Chevy Caprice 1992 LTZ 5.7

OR

Ford Crown Victoria LTD (Police intercepter) 5.8

^ Argh. The Caprice's engine is a win and better spec'd overall. But if the Caprice was a wagon, it would be a total win. That P71 is full of win, because cop car & better looker. But the P71's wheezy engine is a total killjoy IMO.

-> But of the two for now, I'd pick the Caprice.

Prindiville Land Rover Defender

or

Brabus G55 AMG

^ Hmm, a German missile (Brabus-tuned engine) or a pure driving British machine (swb & 6MT)? The G-box wins here.

Here's one:

1970 Ferrari 308

Or

2011 Lotus Evora

Both at £40,000

^ I'd pick the Evora Base (especially with the rear seat delete option) because of Toyota's V6 drivetrain. For some reason except for the F40, I'm scared of owning older Ferarri's.
 
I'd have the Evora. Apparently the 308 was a pretty terrible car. Power-on and power-off oversteer, terrible driving position, and no power. Also, they started making the 308 GTB in 1975, so I'd be kind of skeptical about driving one from 1970 :sly:
 
Batmobile VS Schumacher F1 Car - Neither, a fantasy car versus a hyper-expensive track car I'd never have the skills to drive? No thanks. :indiff:

Well, the Batmobile only has 325 HP, so its not that unmanageable
 
Benetton vs Batmobile - For road use of course it has to be the Batmobile. Only cos I have no choice. I wouldn't have it otherwise. For a collectors item or fun/trackday/events etc. Then the F1 car.
 
The Batmobile because I can drive in on the streets. Even thought it looks like it doesn't have headlights, hows it street legal?
 
Land Rover vs. Brabus: Tough choice, but I'll take the Brabus G55. It'll be a beast off road against a H1 Alpha.

Ferarri 308 vs. Lotus Evora: Evora all the way, I like the Ferarri, but I'll instantly take the special edition of the 308.

Batmobile vs. F1: F1 why? Because sheer racing heritage of Formula 1 and Schumacher.

You've never been in a 308 then, have you? They actually handle very well (for a machine of the time), and provided the engine is well maintained, they accelerate quite well, and sound about 1 million times nicer than the Toyota V6. The 328 was a bit of a mis-step though.

I forgot to mention the 308 was actually Marty Mcflys. He got the Doc to shove a flux capacitor and everything in it, because he really wanted that car and really wanted to live in 1970.
It wasn't technically made in 1970 but no one knew that bar Marty and the Doc.
 
1970 Ferrari 308 vs. 2011 Lotus Evora - Probably the Lotus. Although the 308 isn't that bad, it's still a Ferrari.

Batmobile vs. F1 - Batmobile. If it has anything to do with Schumacher, I don't want it.
 
Batmobile vs Schumacher's F1 Car - Batmobile cause it's street legal and the F1 car is more of a collectors item then something that you could have fun with at the track.
 
Ford VS Chevy - I like both quite a bit, but I guess I'll go for the 454 SS, since it has that nice big block motor. :P
