well really I'm not much of a dodge fan, and the Mercedes is a much nicer cars and being honest...........I think the dodge looks boxy.:ill: I mean like theres not much aero dynamic look to it and the Mercedes looks a lot more sporty looking.

What are you talking about?
 
Before I do this, you need to know that you may NOT choose both, you may NOT modify them in any ways, and you may NOT choose "neither."


2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Specs:

6.2L V8, 460hp, 465lbft, 7 speed manual, about $54,000. (includes performance exhausts, warranty)

0-60: 3.8 seconds (est.) Top speed: 195mph (est.)




or


2000 Ferrari 360 Modena

Specs:

3.6L V8, 400hp, 275lbft, 6 speed manual transmission, $58,250. (includes Tubi performance exhaust, recent service, no warranty)

0-60: 4.2 seconds. Top speed: 189mph

 
I take both, but the Corvette would need a supercharger and the Ferrari would need a turbo kit or something on it too. Actually on second thought, probably neither. :dopey:

Really though I'd take the 360. The new Corvette doesn't do it for me and the Ferrari's engine just sounds awesome.
 
I'll take the 360 because it's simply more special than the C7. The Vette will probably get destroyed by the equivalent 911 and friends in comparison tests anyway.

If we're talking price-wise, corvette always destroys the equivalent 911 in performance. This Is coming from someone who loves 911s

Base 911 no options- $82,100
Corvette stated above- $54,000
They're hardly equivalents. For the actual comparison it really depends on the mileage of the Ferrari. If it is under 50k I'll take that.

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray vs. Ferrari 360 Modena - I'll chose neither. You know, never mind, I'm going to choose both and then modify them. :sly:

Jokes aside, I'll go with the C7. The 360 is a really overrated Ferrari (and it doesn't really look that good either).
 
The Ferrari.

If I had enough money for either, then I'd have a daily driver.

So that means that the 360 practicality issue gets tossed.
And the C7 doesn't look nice either.
 
If we're excluding living with the car on a day to day basis and the maintenance costs I'll go with the Ferrari.

In the real world though, give me the vette.

would you rather have a:

used dodge viper srt10 convertible '03, valued at $65,000

or

new chevrolet corvette stingray convertible '14, valued at $56,000
^ I'd take the Viper. It's rawer, scarier, and louder. The Corvette is a senior community cruiser compared to the Viper, despite the price and slower. :)


1969/1970 dodge dart gt 383 v8

vs

2013 dodge dart gt i4
^ Despite the Dart GT is a very good 'non-car person' cruiser. I'd take the 383, like the Viper above, it rawer and much more pleasureable to drive. Plus it's cooler too, not many modern cars can do that nowadays... :indiff:


2014 porche 911 gt3

or

2013 mercedes-benz sl63 amg
^ As much as I like Porsche's in general, I'd take the SL63. For me, even the 991 GT3 is boss, it's a huge dissapointment for me. Porsche diluted the GT3 to appeal the mass audience and for me it taints the GT3 name. My GT3 is the RS 4.0. So the jackhammer it is. :indiff:


Speaking of porsches...

carrera rs 2.7

or

993 carrera 2
^ I'd take both, the 2.7 is for car meets and the 993 is my daily driver. With the 993, you're cooler than anyone with a 996, 997, and 991. ;)


The 993 is the ugliest generation of the 911 imo.
^ Really!? I think that the 996 is the ugliest/blandest and the 991 is the fattest/mini whale. :odd:


saturn sky redline

or

pontiac solstice gxp
^ I've driven the Sky RL and a Solstice base. I'll pick the Sky hand down! The interior has a better quality look to it AND it's a true global car (Opel GT & Daewoo G2X). And I'll convert the Sky into a Daewoo just to piss people off!

^ But of course, mine will be a manual! :D

out of curiousity, how does the us car differ from eu spec? :lol:
^ Very subtle. The G2X & GT share the Euro-spec rear bumper, tailights, & some front bumper details. Thats about it. The only things they totally differ are its front grille, steering wheel cover, and badging.

My2012 subcompact comparo:

1) honda jazz (fit)

2) toyota vios (yaris)

3) nissan versa

4) hyundai accent

5) ford fiesta

all with the 5 speed manual.
Sorry for no images, on phone now.
^ I'm sorry, I have difficulty answering your question here.

1. You're from Singapore, so your specs are quite different.
2. Versa doesn't exist in Singapore, you guys have the Micra & the Note.
3. It doesn't specify which model it is.
3. Your Jazz and our Fit are different.
4. The Yaris and Vios are different now, but if you mean the last gen model...
5 ...the model lineup over there is pretty much bland and lifeless.

^ Unless you clarify this, I won't answer your question.


before i do this, you need to know that you may not choose both, you may not modify them in any ways, and you may not choose "neither."

2014 chevrolet corvette stingray

specs:

6.2l v8, 460hp, 465lbft, 7 speed manual, about $54,000. (includes performance exhausts, warranty)

or

2000 ferrari 360 modena[/url]

specs:

3.6l v8, 400hp, 275lbft, 6 speed manual transmission, $58,250. (includes tubi performance exhaust, recent service, no warranty)
^ Ok, I'll play your rules. ;)

-> I'd get the C7 easy. I never liked the 360 (yeah, let the haters rain), even from the start this Ferrari is oozing with blandness. The CS helps a bit, but I'd even take the C5 ZO6 (405hp) over the 360 CS. :indiff:

I thought I put the mileage of the Ferrari in my post, but I guess I forgot. It has 53,121 miles. :)
 
C7 for me. Most Ferraris don't do it for me, mainly the new stuff. Much prefer their '70s and '80s cars,

53,121 MILES??

The most I'd go for a Ferrari is 20K Kilometers. It also depends on the driver... seeing as it is a Ferrari, the owner was a rich guy with no driving skills whatsoever; if he was a young rich driver, he would constantly rev the engine which in turn means a very stressed engined. Very stressed engine means more money on top of the 80G which destroys the bargain. (Even though it isn't a bargain considering 80G used car v. 50G brand spanking new car.)

Now, seeing as I can't say neither, I don't want to go ahead and choose the C7. Reason: all these new cars have too many electrical components, which is why I like classic American Muscle. But American Muscle will always be in my heart so... C7 it is.

Coming from an ex-Ferrari fan.

Totally. The Vette, ever since the C5 Z06 has been genuinely capable and the new one still is great bang for the dollar.

But it now has more refinements and a modern interior with proper seats to match. Less expensive to run too.

Vette hands down.

Edit: F type, dont want a all wheel drive benz.

Besides I was on mobile and just tossing out a quick comparo, dosent matter much.

^ If the F-Type is too wide for British roads...it would be like a Kei-car here in the US. Plus no jackhammer on the Benz is a bummer. So I'd pick the Jaaaaaggggggggg. ;)
