993 GT2 vs. Zonda 7.3L: Ugh, tough choice since I like both cars.... But I'll go with the Zonda, since it's a rare sight in the US.
 
Toyota Mark II Tourer V vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III - Stock? Lancer. With those ridiculous upgrades? Lancer.

Audi A1 vs. Fiat 500 vs. Citroen DS3 vs. Vauxpell Adam - The 500 is obviously what I'm going to pick, it's one of my dream cars (I'm not even kidding).

Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatchback vs. Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback - Oh noo....no no no no....YOU DID NOT JUST DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to take both now. 🤬!!!!! Ok, no, I'll pick the STI.

Holden Commodore SS-V Redline vs. Renault Sport Megane 265 Trophy 8:08 Edition - Ok, so I'll totally pick a 2.0L I4 vs. a 6.0L V8. Yeah, Holden, no contest.

Mazdaspeed 6 vs. Subaru Legacy 2.5GT - Subaru for life.

Scion xB vs. Kia Soul vs. Nissan Cube S vs. Hyundai Veloster vs. Mini Cooper vs. Volkswagen Beetle 2.5 vs. Fiat 500 Pop vs. Honda CR-Z ($20k budget for modz yo) -
The CR-Z is out because it's way too expensive to put mods on. As well as the Beetle. As well as the Mini Cooper. The Cube is out because I think it should just be a cube, not a car. So with all of that gone, I'm gonna take the hipstaz box yo (the xB) because I'm going to be putting mods on it and it would look the best with them.

Toyota Cressida vs. Nissan Laurel - I'll take the Cressida because it'll make me look like less of an old man.

Toyota Tacoma vs. Nissan Frontier - No one ever drives the Frontier anymore....so that's why I'm picking the Tacoma.

Ford F-150 Raptor vs. Dodge Ram SRT10 - I'll have to pick the SRT10 because it looks a whole lot better, and it's the one that won't break down on you 300 days of the year.

Toyota Supra vs. Mazda RX-7 - Supra, it's a very pristine car when stock.

Porsche 911 GT2 vs. Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 - The 911. The Zonda is so overstyled to the point it looks like a spaceship. The 911 has a very simple, classic look. Also, the Zonda looks really fast when you look, but it can compete against 450-550 hp cars...

Of course, one of my posts means a comparo:

2013 Tesla Model S 65kwh Base - $62,400, 302 HP 65 kwh battery

I'll have the A7. The BMW doesn't appeal and the Tesla just doesn't work with such a poor charging infrastructure in Europe and the UK.
 
I'm starting to like BMW's less and less, so I think I'd have the Audi. I'd rather have a CLS or other Mercedes, though.
 
Why that way round? With fuel prices as they are the Tesla makes more sense over here than there, surely?



Personally. 640iGC... all-day, every day.

Well, there's very little chargin infrastructure in the UK, while America has the Supercharger network, along with upcoming battery swap stations. If Tesla built some station in the UK, then I'd have it hands down.

I suppose, though, that if offered a Model S 85 KwH, I'd have it, because it will do over 200 miles on a charge, enough to get from Leeds to London.

Fair point.
 
Is there some special reason the BMW is 10-20 grand more than the others? And I'd also take the A7 if I was in the market. I love the 6 Grand Coupè but I can't find myself paying that much more for it.
 
-> ...
Porsche 993 GT2

OR

Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3
^ I'll pick the 993, easy. When I first seen a brand new yellow one in person (in 1997), my jaw dropped with saliva gushing like a waterfall. The GT2 exhibits pure insainity towards its driver to brace him/herself!!!

-> The C12 is somewhat bland for a Pagani IMHO. And given its enormous girth, it's not as easy commuter either.

^ If ain't a TDI, the A7 is out. If ain't an M6 GC, the 640i GC is definitely out. Although it's not my preferred model (85kwh Performance Plus), I'll take the Model S.

Well the only other thing in BMW's line-up that you'd ever confuse the 6GC with, is the 6 coupe/cabriolet which is similarly overpric... expensive.. where as most A7 buyers could save themselves quite a few quid, and buy the A5 sportback.. which for my money, is the better looking of Audi's fast-back saloons. The A7 is a poor execution of a good idea... the 6GC is a good execution of an idea that leaves many BMW fans scratching their heads..

edit 2:

Right, I really am loosing the ability to speak.. the odd mistake or typo is one thing, but I'm missing out whole words and not realising...

It's crazy how cheap 996s and how expensive 993s are.
996 GT2 with many thousands in upgrades pushing 700WHP and 22K miles (We're talking a 200K plus car here plus mods) - $75,450

This is horribly hard for me. I am one of the people that actually sort of like the look of the 996 and it's just bat 🤬 crazy in GT2 trim with the extra upgrades. That said, I'll go with the craziness and take the 993. Actually if I had the cash, I would go for the 996, drive it around for a year until i satisfy the want for crazy power and then I'll be able to appreciate the 993 which I would keep for as long as I could.

mump_0909_01_+1986_ford_mustang_svo_prototype+cover_spread.jpg


Horsepower figures are identical.
 
Nissan GT-R vs. Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet - The GT-R. It's a bit more expensive but a lot more rare.

Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Shelby GT350 20th Anniversary Edition vs. Ford Mustang SVO - SVO by a mile. I mean...just look at it! And it's an SVO, so...
 
I don't know what Id do with all the power in the GT2 996. I prefer mild tuned, usable power.
So the 993 takes it for me.

However personally Id have a 911 Turbo 996 over them both and save big $$$ in the process.I actually love the 996 styling alot.

As for the Mustangs I am clueless about either and can't make a judgement on it. I would probably go with the V8 since it might have more power potential.
 
I would choose the 86 SVO because it's a favorite in the family. Porsche v GT-R; I would choose the Porsche because I've been a fan ever since I saw a 911 Targa.

Here's another "Would you rather..."

Would you rather have the...

Oldsmobile Rocket 455

7.5L

275HP-400HP

Easily the Buick for me simply because there is more aftermarket support for it over a rocket engine. More aftermarket means more power.
 
The 993, my favourite generation of all the 911s and easily one of my favourite cars ever, I've lusted after one for so long, I'd drive the hell out of it. SVO Mustang I guess, I don't really like the fox body Mustangs, and the Olds Rocket.
