Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition Z07 vs. Aston Martin V8 Vantage vs. Audi R8 V8 vs. Porsche 911 Carrera S vs. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs. SRT Viper GTS

Very tough one. I'll automatically rule the 911 out for obvious reasons. The R8 V8 isn't as good as the others so I'll rule that one out, too. I like the V8 Vantage, but it's the "cheap Aston." That leaves the three 'Murican cars. I love the ZR1 more than the Z06, but I really like the Carbon Edition so I'll get that. I like the Viper, but not as much as the Corvettes.


Scion tC vs. Hyundai Veloster

Another tough one. Hmmm. I think I'd get the Scion, just because I think it looks cooler.
 
It was a hard one until I had seen the Viper was on the list. So Viper. Though if it was the previous body style of the Viper (models 2003 and after) it would be a hard choice, because I can't stand the 2003-2012 models.
 
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition Z07 vs. Aston Martin V8 Vantage vs. Audi R8 V8 vs. Porsche 911 Carrera S vs. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs. SRT Viper GTS

I'll take the Viper GTS. I always love the looks of Vipers, it just really underpins their names. It's got svelte, sensuous, willowy lines here and there like those of a snake, complete with a menacing face - especially in the case of this new model. Same thing goes with their driving behavior, if judged from the reviews. Such brilliant character for a car of its kind. Oh, and the build quality's much better now anyway.

I considered the 991-gen. Carrera S, considering I also really love the overall shapes of 911s since I was a little boy. Usually not much ravishing drama from them, but I see 911s as really distinctive and pretty - not many share the contours of those cars. Oh, and the motor racing connections...I'm a sucker for that, yes, silly me, even though ultimately road-going versions are different from racing variants. I want to be supportive of Porsche, a company that has a strong sense of identity as shown with the 911 (if you ignore Cayennes and Panameras), showing evolution through time while keeping up with modernity, and they don't make the idea of "retro-styling" so bad.

But in the end...well, meh. I think I'll go with the Viper this time. Plus I've driven a new Carrera S belonging to a relative. Yes, it's brilliant, but maybe I should pick something else from the list because of this.

Scion tC vs. Hyundai Veloster

I'll take the tC. When this version just got released I thought the roofline's too boxy compared to the rest of the lines. It's a bit out of proportion...but i now find the whole car to be very nice from some angles. Also, the front fascia has a fair degree of sportiness. It looks rather mild, but still a little bit firm without being too taunting to viewers. The Veloster's got an interesting and unique design, but the overall impression it evokes just has too much radiance for a compact hatchback.


Now...

Audi A4. 1. Because it's not a Jetta. 2. It's most likely a better car all around*.



*If the Jetta is somehow better, don't forget I know nothing about these cars :lol:

I've driven a 2012 GLI. It was amazing.
 
Long list here!

Luxury Cars: Hmmmm..... I'll take the XF and the A6.

V8 Vantage vs. Z06 Z06 aka "mini ZR1" vs. 991 Carerra S vs. C6 ZR1 vs. Audi R8 4.2L vs. Viper GTS VX: Ugh, you guys must be getting me back from my recent choice :crazy::lol:.

Well, I don't like the V8 Vantage that much, so he's off the list. Even though the power isn't there, but the 991's handling and power to weight ratio is impressive and can keep up with the powerhouses on a track with a expert driver... I'll take the Carerra and modify it into a modern Yellowbird. :trouble:👍

Next I'll take the Baby ZR1, the Z07 Z06, even with the ZR1, this will be my daily Vette and can trick people to believe it's a real ZR1.

Then I'll take the R8 FSI and twin turbo it and get a stroker kit to push it to a 4.5L FSI.

Then I'll take the last two instantly. The ZR1 and GTS, make the Viper blue and white stripes with a TT setup. :trouble:👍

TC vs. Volester: Tough choice here. I'll go for both cars and TRD the TC with a supercharger and TT and even do a AWD conversion with the Hyundai. ;)

Caprice vs. Crown Victoria: Hmmm.... Tough one here, but I'll go with the Caprice. And build the Impala SS and put a LS6 into the car.

Audi vs. VW: Ummmm, I'll take the VW and hook it up.
 
Ugh, I'd take any variant of the GranTurismo or GranCabrio over the current California. There's something about the juxtaposition of those voluptuous body (actually that's mesmerizing if viewed from the sides) and that kind of protruding face of viciousness that just...doesn't feel right. Not saying it's hideous, it's still beautiful in a way, but just...no. No matter if the California's lighter than any GranTurismo (except the MC Trofeo racing variant perhaps), or if it shifts faster, or if it's just a better handling car as a whole, I won't prefer the California. Anyway, the ideas behind the two were not of significant difference in the very first place if you ignore the figures - the Ferrari being considered as one that was more usable on a day-to-day basis compared to the others in the lineup, and the Gran Turismo being a comfy grand tourer that looked luxurious and also capable of going rather quick if you wanted to. In the end both cars tried to emphasize a lot on comfort for the drivers. Often the characteristics exuded from the exterior styling overpower the other factors for me...
 
The Ferrari is technically superior, but the Maserati is the more desirable car to me.

However I'd rather save up abit and get a manual 4.2 R8! :sly:

GT-R VS 997 VS 991

I hate R35s, so that's an instant no. I've always liked 911 Turbos. The 997, while very nice just looks so boring in comparison to the 991. The 991's better looking inside and out (especially inside), and being the least modified is the most daily-able vehicle of the bunch, so I'll take that.

*Skips open top cars because I know nothing about them*

F430 VS R8 GT

The R8 looks a lot better on the outside, but the F430 sounds more interesting. The R8 looks better inside though, and is likely of higher quality. I think I'll choose the GT.

GT-R VS ACR VS 997

Uh...the 997. The other two sound like tuners and I know nothing about those tuners. So uh...Porsche.

Ultima VS Rossion

Rossion I guess.

XF VS A6 VS E60

I'm not fond of E60s so that's immediately out. I'm the only person who doesn't like the new Jaguars very much, and I find the front end of the XF a little bland, and the taillights are too big. The interior's nice though, but the Audi's is nicer. The Audi looks a lot better too, and has the technological edge.

Caprice VS Crown Victoria

The Crown Victoria's nice, but the Caprice is a lot more appealing since it has that LT-1, and the look has aged better. I prefer the more squarish interior to the Crown Victoria's pretty meh vaguely curvy theme. Both would be awesome to own though.

Z06 VS V8 Vantage VS R8 VS 991 VS ZR1 VS Viper GTS

The V8 Vantage won't be nearly as fun as the others. The Z06 isn't as fast as the ZR1. The R8 isn't a V10 so it's not as interesting. The Viper's nice, but the front looks a little funny. The 911 will be infinitely more livable, but the ZR1 will be so much more exciting. Seeing as I don't live in a place with rain or snow, there's no need for the more stable (compared to the Corvette I hear) 911. Though the 911 is more luxurious and comfortable. I'll still take the ZR1 though. It's louder, faster, and more fun.

tC VS Veloster

Hmm. The tC's a nice little coupe-hatch thing, but then so is the Veloster. I'll take the Veloster, since reviewers say the Scion isn't that interesting to drive. The Veloster's more modern and looks cooler too.

Jetta VS A4

The A4's a nice car, but I don't want a CVT. So, the GLI wins for that reason.

California VS Gran Turismo

Both look great, though the Ferrari looks better inside than the Maserati. The Maserati looks a little guady with the new front bumper, but a darker color could hide it. Both sound great, but I prefer the Maserati.

Unfortunately I don't know very much about either of these SUV's, but I am more familiar with the Land Cruiser. So with that being said, I'd pick the Land Cruiser.
