1970 Porsche 914/6
OR
1971 Detomaso Pantera

De Tomaso. Easily.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR, VW Golf Mk.VI R, Subaru Impreza WRX Sti, or Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE

1 - Camaro
2 - Impreza
3 - Evo
4 - Golf

E63 650i M-Sport
F12 640i M-Sport
E82 135is
E82 1M
E92 335is
F32 435i M-Sport
E36 M3 Euro-spec (3.2L S50)
E46 M3 ZCP/CS
E46 M3 CSL

That's a tough one.

I'll take the 1M, then the E36 M3.
 
Evo/STi/Golf R vs. Camaro 1SS: Good one and tough. I'll go for the trio. Golf R for daily/autocross, STi for daily/track pushing 500hp on E85 and Evo for track/auto/daily tune pushing between 500-600hp. If only one, STi all the way! ;)

STi 1st
Evo 2nd
Camaro 3rd
GolfR 4th
 
Pantera vs Porsche: Pantera, no explanation needed.

Shelbys: The Durango is my choice since it isn't as horrible.

BMWs: E46 CSL by a country mile.

Rolls vs Pathetic Communist Car: Rolls, by 3679 miles.

Evo vs STI vs Golf vs Camaro: Camaro is out for a start becasue it isn't sold in the UK, the Evo and STI are out because they don't look discreet in this competition. So my choice is the Golf R; discreet looks, good practicality and crushing point-to-point pace. Make mine a DSG please.
 
1971 Detomaso Pantera looks so much better

Shelby Durango SP360 more space

E36 M3 Euro-spec and E46 M3 CSL

Rolls Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase (Automatic transmission) because its better then the Yugo

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR
 
I thought the Camaro had been imported into the UK for a couple of years now?

It's been in Europe for a while but it never came to the UK in right-hand drive. It's only being sold in the UK in left-hand drive.
 
-> ...



^ I've driven many Bimmer DCT's from the F30 328i to the 640i to the E92 M3. Other than treating it like a regular A/T, most of the time its a meh IMHO. It totally dilutes my experience, but not everyone have the same feeling thou. Sorry, I'd rather do the dance on the driver seat rather than driving like I'm playing GT/Forza.

It's an auto though not a DCT which means it's pretty smooth and more like the rest of the car. I do understand and respect your preference towards MTs. I find it fun to just press the kickdown and hold on sometimes
 
Okay, I need a 2nd chance to think of a WYR, that last one I had wasn't so good.


Alright, here's one. Would you rather have:


2013 Ford Fiesta,
2013-Ford-Fiesta-1.jpg


2013 Chevrolet Sonic,
2013-chevrolet-sonic-hatchback_100400929_l.jpg


or the 2013 Kia Soul?
2013-kia-soul_100390908_l.jpg



Of course, I pick the fiesta, because I don't care for the sonic and I HATE the kia soul.

Looks like you'll be proved wrong in a couple of months.

That's interesting, because I've seen quite a few around my area (North West London). I wonder if it's expensive to import a car from the US, I've been wanting a Chevelle for a long time...


BMWs - There's no point in taking one of the older BMWs, since I can just get a new one. By that logic, why get a 135i or M3 when I can get a 6 series? Some people will say that the M3 is sportier, but I prefer the comfort and power you get from an M6. Two M6s were shown in the comparison and the first one (I don't know the name, I'm not a Bimmer fan!) looks like the old M6, which was just fantastic. I don't know why BMW is making all of their cars look the same, but I hate it. So, the M6 with the classic styling it is!

Camaro vs Evo vs Subaru vs Golf R - The Camaro would be... interesting to drive in the UK. I'm definitely not a Subaru fan, so that's out and the Golf, while good, doesn't compare to the rest. The pictures included are of modified versions of these cars, so I don't know if the modifications are present when I choose the car, but my choice is the Evo nonetheless. I love that dark grey, wingless look.

1. Evo
2. Golf R
3. Camaro
4. Subaru
 
I'll have the Fiesta. The Sonic is just the terrible Aveo here and the Soul is just square and uncool.
 
BMW 650i M-Sport vs. BMW 640i M-Sport vs. BMW 135is vs. BMW 1M vs. BMW 335is vs. BMW 435i M-Sport vs. BMW M3 Euro vs. BMW M3 vs. BMW M3 CSL - This is one hard comparo. I'll take the 135is out because it wouldn't be able to keep up with most of these cars. I'll take the 4-series out because it's kind of ugly to me (it looks like the new 3-series). Same with the 640i. The 335i is out because it's..well...a 335i, not much more to say. The BMW 1M is also out, although I like this car a lot. So between the 3 M3s, I'm going to pick the CSL.

Results:
1. BMW M3 CSL
2. BMW M3
3. BMW M3 Euro
4. BMW 1M
5. BMW 335i
6. BMW 650i
7. BMW 640i
8. BMW 435i M-Sport
9. BMW 135is

Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB vs. Yugo - What? The Phantom....

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR vs. Volkswagen Golf VI R vs. Subaru Impreza WRX STi vs. Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE - That's easy for me, the WRX. If the WRX wasn't in there, it'd be the Evo.

Results:
1. Subaru Impreza WRX STi
2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR
3. Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE
4. Volkswagen Golf VI R

XxKingJoshxX
the other cars are as interesting to me as a log.
That seems to be the situation for you for 75% of cars ever made. :/

Ford Fiesta vs. Chevrolet Sonic vs. Kia Soul - I rather have a Fiesta, because the Chevrolet isn't sonic, and the Kia has no soul.

Results:
1. Ford Fiesta
2. Chevrolet Sonic
3. Kia Soul
 
Fiesta vs Sonic vs Soul - Definitely the Fiesta, why wouldn't you pick it? Ford know how to make good hatchbacks, as they've proven time and time again. I don't particularly like hatchbacks, but the Fiesta and Focus are the two exceptions.

1. Fiesta
2. Sonic
3. Soul
 
Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB vs. Yugo - What? The Phantom....

You and a few other people seemed to miss that the comparison was just for The^~>...^Boy...

That seems to be the situation for you for 75% of cars ever made. :/

I can have my opinions on cars, can't I? Just like you could care less about Fords, I could care less about 🤬 like Mitsubishi's and Subaru's etc.
 
Can you really classify the Camaro with the others? A front drive hot hatch and two AWD sedans against a 2 door muscle car? Camaro for me regardless, I love the 1LEl.

The Golf R is actually AWD. Just for your information. :)
 
Evo X MR vs. Golf Mk VI R vs. WRX STi vs. Camaro SS 1LE

I'd rather have the Evo X MR, I think it's the most practical car of the bunch.

'13 Fiesta vs. '13 Sonic vs. '13 Soul

I'd rather have the Sonic
 
E63 650i M-Sport vs F12 640i M-Sport vs E82 135is vs E82 1M vs E92 335is vs F32 435i M-Sport vs E36 M3 Euro-spec (3.2L S50) vs E46 M3 ZCP/CS vs E46 M3 CSL

I'll go with the 435i M-Sport. Fell in love with the 4 series when it was introduced and I think it looks awesome!


Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR vs Volkswagen Golf R vs Subaru Impreza WRX Sti vs Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE

It was tricky for me between the Impreza WRX STI and the Camaro SS, but I've decided to go with the Camaro. Always loved them, and the V8 is really good. :)


^ I'd actually take the Yugo mind you! I make it cool enough for the fraction of that hip-hop Roller you got there!

I'm not surprised by that. :rolleyes:


2013 Ford Fiesta vs 2013 Chevrolet Sonic vs 2013 Kia Soul

I'll take the Sonic. Although I'm very bias about it, mainly because I drive one! The other two choices are also great.
 
I can have my opinions on cars, can't I? Just like you could care less about Fords, I could care less about 🤬 like Mitsubishi's and Subaru's etc.

Yes you can have opinions, but you've repeatedly said "the other cars are as interesting to me as a rock/log/etc. And when did I say I hated all Fords?

By the way, it's couldn't care less. :sly:
 
I could care less about 🤬 like Mitsubishi's and Subaru's etc.
I'm with you there.
And when did I say I hated all Fords?

You didn't but you've made a good point over the past few months that you dislike most of them. Fair enough though.


Anyways, Fiesta for me.


1970 Ford Mustang Coupe

Engine: 351 Cleveland 2V 5.8L V8

This is how a Mustang should sound.

1970 Charger vs 1970 Mustang - Sadly, I'm going to have to choose the Charger. Actually, it's not sad, the Charger was a brilliant car. I always thought I preferred the Mustangs from that generation, but I guess I don't. I know the Charger is a massive car, but oh that engine. Also, I quite like its styling.

1. Charger
2. Mustang

Lincoln Continental vs Cadillac Eldorado - While the Eldorado is a classic, the Continental really stands out. Also, I hate it when the back tyres of a car are covered. You won't ever find me driving an old Insight, and the same goes for the Eldorado

1. Continental
2. Eldorado
 
Continental, please.

@Bodyguard

It's probably because it's not a fastback Mustang.
