Would you rather?

[AzNTypeR]

FTO please, as long as it doesn't have those disgusting rims.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Jaguar and celica.

FTO please, as long as it doesn't have those disgusting rims.

In my comparisons, it's the car in it's normal condition and modifications are allowed. So yeah, the FTO doesn't have to have those rims.

Toyota Celica GT-Four vs. Nissan Silvia K's vs. Mitsubishi FTO GPX - Way too hard...I'll go with the S13 because I just love these things.

Results:
1. Nissan Silvia K's
2. Mitsubishi FTO GPX
3. Toyota Celica GT-Four

Comparo:
Battle of the Countries again!

Evo and Celica.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I'll go with the BMW. I mean Mini.

 

[Kent]

Celica and Mini.

I think of these three I'd go McLaren but you've got a winner no matter which way you go.

 

[JAHHAJ]

McLaren and Golf.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Mini and mclaren.

 

[homeforsummer]

FTO, MINI and LaFerrari.

The FTO is the only one of those coupes I've driven so it gets a pass. The MINI narrowly edges out the Clio for being a little sharper to drive (though the Clio is pretty nice these days too) while the Spark is awful, the Golf utterly tedious and the Yaris a bit dull. And LaFerrari on a lucky dip, because none of the hypercars really grab me.

I'll take the Aventador. Proper old school hypercar brutality.

I'll take the Aventador. Proper old school hypercar brutality.

Curious as to why it's that.

I'd pick the McLaren P1.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Aventador. The only of the newest batch of hypercars that I really like its the Jaguar CX-75, and they don't really make those.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Curious as to why it's that.

I'd pick the McLaren P1.

P1 and LaFerrari are hybrids with F1 technology. Aventador has good old fashioned grunt with violent launch control and fast yet brutal gear changes. Things like that are better than sterile new KERS hybrid drive systems.

McLaren P1 vs. Ferrari LaFerrari vs. Lamborghini Aventador - P1, too easy.

Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185

or

Nissan Silvia K's S13

or

Mitsubishi FTO GPX

Ideally, I'd have a car with the styling of the FTO, the chassis of the Celica and the reputation and driftability of the S13, but alas. I guess I'll take the Celica, it has the best point-to-point pace.

Golf all day every day! I despise Minis. The Renault is likely to be overpriced, slow and heavy. The Chevrolet just doesn't compare, it's badly made and cheap. The Yaris is quite nice, but I prefer the styling and handling of the Golf.

McLaren P1

LaFerrari

Lamborghini Aventador

I adore the P1 and I find the LaFerrari simply inspiring, but I'm going to have to take the Aventador. The styling appeals to me much more than the edgy competition. Also, I really liked AudiMan's point about it being a proper, brutal hypercar, I think I value that more than 900+hp.

It's more "outdated" than "old-school". But then, it is two years old now.

 

[XS]

Aventador, it just looks like it oozes passion and is built soley to make you feel things. The McLaren and Ferrari can do the same, I'm sure, but just don't have that "something" that I see in the Lambo.

Morris Marina

or

Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet

or

Toyota Camry

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Camry. It's a nice, basic car that works well. The Marina is crap and the Murano is just stupid.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Toyota Camry; Top Gear has kinda made me paranoid about driving a Morris Marina as I don't want to drive a car that is a piano magnet (besides, it's kinda rare to have and I don't like it much anyway) and the Nissan Murano is like what Beeblebrox said; very stupid. Although, I'm not surprised that Nissan came up with that after seeing the Juke.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Camry.

 

[Slash]

Marina. Because old school.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Well there's another tie between the Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag XJR and the Evo VI. And my "secondary championship points system" also ended in a tie between these two lol. So it has to go down to BFYB again.

The Lancer example found was about $500 cheaper than the XJR. Score 1 for Mitsu, albeit not by much.

The XJR's AJ16 supercharged and intercooled 6-cylinder has 240kW/326bhp and 512Nm/378lb-ft of torque compared to the Evo VI's 4G63 turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder with a rated 206kW/276hp and 373Nm/276lb-ft of torque. Score 1 for Jag.

The Lancer Evolution VI's much lighter weight helps it sprint from 0-100km/h in 5 seconds and complete the 1/4 mile in 13.3 seconds, compared to the Jaguar's 6.4 second 0-100 and 14.6sec 1/4 mile time. Score 2 for the Mitsu.

I can't find any lap data on the XJR6 (X306), but considering even later model V8 XJRs are nowhere near the Lancer on the similar circuits (unsurprising considering it's a big luxury limo compared to the Evo being a compact rally-bred sedan), I wouldn't have high hopes for the XJR6. Evo wins, and is on to the final.

Round 5 of 5: Import Sportswagons.

[Gotbeefboy564]

Nissan.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Marina. Because old school.

Watch out for falling pianos.
Sorry, I just love Top Gear.

Anyway, I'll take a Legacy please.

 

[Slash]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind

 

[Sage Ages]

Stagea. It's a Skyline wagon. 👍

 

[AudiMan2011]

Bad cars: Top Gear logic is always rubbish so I'll take the Marina. It's probably much better than the other 2.

Import wagons: I'll take the Legnum, it has the greatest sleeper potential.
