GT500E as in my opinion, it's better in every way. I'm not the biggest fan of the '71 and I don't really care if it was the original gone in 60 seconds car (I actually preferred the remake of gone in 60 seconds) but it's still cool just that the GT500E beats it by far in my opinion.
 
GT500 for me as well. I've never even seen Gone in 60 seconds, so the original is pretty much worthless in my eyes.
 
2013 Mazda Mazda2 vs. 2013 Kia Rio Hatchback vs. 2014 Ford Fiesta Hatchback vs. 2013 Chevrolet Spark vs. 2013 Hyundai Accent Hatchback
Fiesta for my first choice and Mazda2 as my second choice.


2014 Toyota Corolla L, 2014 Honda Civic Sedan LX, 2014 Nissan Versa Sedan S, 2014 Mazda 3 4-Door i SV, 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer ES Sedan, 2014 Subaru Impreza Sedan 2.0i, 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sedan SE, 2014 Kia Forte Sedan LX, 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LS, 2014 Ford Focus S Sedan, 2014 Dodge Dart SE, or 2014 Volkswagen Jetta S
My top 3 choices out of those would be: 1; Subaru Impreza 2.0L, 2. VW Jetta S, & 3. 2014 Ford Focus Sedan


2013 Mustang GT/CS 5.0 vs. 1968 Mustang GT/CS 7.0L
I'm picking the 2013 Mustang GT, it's the better performer on the track and it's better for daily driving to me. Also, I never liked the tailights on the GT/CS or on the classic shelby GT500s. I prefer the normal mustang 3-bar taillights to those.

Original Eleanor vs Modern Eleanor
As a car, I have to say I prefer the modern Eleanor. It's based off a 1967 shelby gt500, but with modern parts equiped to it and I always loved it when someone would put modern performance parts and put it in a classic car.
 
'13 Mustang vs '68 Mustang: The '68, don't like new Mustangs at all.

Boring sedans: If I'm going for something boring I may as well get something reliable. So give me the Corolla.

'71 Mustang Mach 1 vs Shelby GT500E: The Mach 1, the GT500E is hideous and really overdone. Plus I quite like the Mach 1.
 
It was refereed to in movie as a '73. Its a 71' with 73' front end.


Nostalgia aside, I prefer the original Eleanor for 2 reasons:

1. The GT500 looks overdone.
2. The Mach 1 took a HELL of a beating and still runs to this day.

Still looks like a 73 lol

The grilles were replaced with '73 style grilles. They kept the '71 fenders and bumper.

Also, they actually weren't Mach 1's. They were standard '71 Sportsroof cars with 351's and C6 automatics. The black paint trim is close to Ford's Mach 1, it was a custom paint job.
