So far, I am just appalled by how many people are picking the M3 over the C63. Of course, this is just my opinion, but wow. I, of course, will take the C63; I adore that car, especially the post-facelift version. Too bad it's a Coupe...

The Mercedes is brash and hideous.

The C coupe's rear proportions seem strange to my eyes.

I agree with you on this one, the Coupe versions aren't brilliant in design. However, I would pick a C63 AMG Saloon over any other car, they are just so well made, and I can't pass up on that DOHC AMG V8! :drool:
 
Sorry if I don't like "bling" on cars. The C63 is trying WAY too hard, and that really puts me off. The M3 just looks like a BMW, and while in no way a pretty thing, is still perfectly acceptable in my eyes.

High five, same here. If it's a saloon or estate Id have a C63 over the M3, but as it stands its the other way.

Simplicity of use, instant torque and benz solidity.

The M3 is also damn good and if asked which was better I honestly couldnt pick a clear winner, its so close its a preference thing for me.
 
I like the C63, I just always had a preferrence towards BMW since I was little.
I probably also may have my judgement clouded by top gear, because everytime I see an AMG merc on that show; it seems to go through tires too quickly. :lol:

I'd go with the new M3 over the C63 (both coupe and sedan).

Old 300 AMG over the old M5.

And on the above oldies... Red over yellow.

Or

The winner of the Integras.

Me, I'd go DC5 over DC2 and Civic FD2 over both.

My FA5 was one of my favorite cars to own and I can only imagine how much more awesome the FD2 would be. :drool:
 
I'd take the DC5 in a heartbeat, as I don't have a family yet - I'm only 16. ;p

If I was a bit older, I'd take the FD2, but as it stands, I'll take the DC5.
 
Alpine A108 vs Alpine A110 1300 GT4; I prefer the A110 personally, so I'll go with that.

DC2 Integra Type R vs DC5 Integra Type R vs FD2 Civic Type R; I think I'll go with the DC2 Integra, that's my favorite gen of the integra.

EDIT:

Ford F-250 Highboy vs. Dodge W250 - I would choose neither if I could but I'll take the Ford.

Results:
1. Ford F-250 Highboy
2. Dodge W250
 
I could be wrong but I'd wager the Dodge was more rugged and I'd have that.

Also, give the the 2012 ISF. The mk2 changes transformed the car into a legitimate M3/63 competitor.

Plus there's something so appealing about a car Styled as handsomely, as dynamically adept as it is being conceived by skunkworks team of enthusiasts.
 
2012 BMW M3 e92 Coupe vs 2012 Lexus IS F XE20; I'll still take the M3. It's tied with the Mustang for being my favorite car of all time.

1977 Ford F-250 Highboy vs 1985 Dodge W250; I think it's clear that if I have a pickup truck, it would be a F-Series. So, the F250 for me.
 
The ISF Is a really good car, I ride along in a hard (talking donuts and drifts) test drive of one and it was really a blast, from what I recall it feels similar to my M5, which it should given it has similar power, torque and weight numbers, and when you dropped the hammer going 60 on that torquey V8 with 8 gears, the speed went up quite fast. It really is a very good car.

Now with all that said I would take the M3, even though it does feel like it lacks torque in lower speeds, the engine at high revs is absolutely amazing and the handling with the ZCP package is very good. I love the looks of the normal IS and there are some things about the F that I like even more such as the tails but other elements like the bulging hood that doesn't quite flow make it less of a looker than the M3

Both are well known for being extremely rugged. The Ford just has stock tires on it and share many of the same parts underneath.
