Would you rather?

[Dagger311]

Meh. I always saw them as a sports car. They always tried to be a little more sophisticated than their estranged brother, the Camaro.

 

[Slash]

The 50s cars I can see it but not the 60-70s cars.

 

[Dagger311]

I'd say the late C2s and C3s were pretty muscle-y for the smog era times, but they always tried to be a bit more like sports car than ones like Camaros and Chevelles.

 

[JAHHAJ]

For the latest comparo, I'll take the R8. I'd know what @sparkytooth would pick

 

[AlvaroF]

I would take the LFA any day

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

GT.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

For Dagger's latest Versus; I'll pick the Audi R8 if it's the V10 or V10 Plus.
----------------------

To add on the "muscle car" conversation. I always considered the Chevrolet Corvette as a sports car. For the C2 & C3, I just refer to as muscle-influenced, but they still have other characteristics that keep them sporty. As for the Mustang & the cars that followed it; I just refer to them by their actual term, the "Pony Car".

It's the V10,forgot to mentionmit.

And what seperates a pony car from a muscle car? I never understood that...

From my quick research, that term was only used for early mustangs (Mustang = pony).

The Ford Mustang is the car that started the segment.

Pony cars are like muscle cars, but smaller. The term generally means a compact coupe that's affordable, stylish, and performance oriented. The Pony Cars include the Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Plymouth Cuda, Ponitac Firebird, & Mercury Capri (foxbody).

 

[CTznOfTime]

R8 because you can still drive it around town without looking like a fool or a fish out of water...

Otherwise, The LFA would be my choice for the track...

Ah, okay. So, like this.

Muscle cars: Large and powerful. Chevelles, Gran Torinos, other full-size, powerful cars *cough*ImpalaSS327+*cough* .

Pony cars: Powerful, but smaller and handle better. All the cars you listed above.

 

[cbarbosa]

Audi R8

Yup, pretty much.
Of course, you can still refer to them as muscle cars since they're based on those, but I just prefer to call them pony cars as it sounds more appropriate.

I always called them muscle cars, since they're every bit as powerful as their larger friends. But I have heard the term used on them though.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Supercars: R8 because Audi bias.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

LFA, easily by a billion miles. Also, that's not the new California. The new California is the California T.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Exactly, everything in this thread is an opinion.

But, since my other comparison has run dry, I'm going to do another one.

1957 Chevy Bel-Air.

Excellent parking by the way .
Specs:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Bel_Air#Second_generation_.281955.E2.80.931957.29

Or, a 57 Ford Fairlane.

Specs:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fairlane_(Americas)#Second_generation_.281957.E2.80.931959.29

Or, a 1957 Dodge Desoto Firedrome.

Specs:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeSoto_Firedome#Midline_series_1957-59

Bel Air, my favorite 50's car. Although the Fairlane is my second.

Results:
1. Chevrolet Bel Air
2. Ford Fairlane
3. DeSoto Firedome

Camaro Z/28 vs CL63 AMG vs Nissan GT-R vs Ferrari F430 Berlinetta; F430 Berlinetta

Bel-Air vs Fairlane vs DeSoto; Ford Fairlane!

-------------------------------

My 2-Favorite Sport Coupes in their newest forms.

2015 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S550)

2015 BMW M4 Coupe (f32)

M4, but not by much.

My results:

Ford: old
Chevy: old
Dodge: old

Old for all, I really hate new non-sports trucks.

I would say Bel-Air because i am not familiar with the other two cars... well cars from that era for that matter...

Between the new Stang (Great car) and the M4 (awesome car) i would pick none, i am kinda sick at this point from constantly hearing about them for the past 6months... so instead, i am going to pick the... ... well i cant decide either, how about you helping me:

Which one?
Evora SR

A fine example of the 308

I cant decide...



EDIT:
Truck fight:
Ford: old
Chevy: new
Dodge: new

That's hard, but I'll go with the 308.

Well, two little debates in one week, I'm on fire . Here's a new comparision. Country vs country 2.0: Supercar Style!

From America, we have the 2006 Ford GT (Assume 0 miles on it, brand new).

Specs and review here:
http://www.edmunds.com/ford/gt/2006/

From Germany: The Audi R8.

(needed a bigger pic, but...)
http://www.caranddriver.com/audi/r8

Italy brings us the new California.

(Not really a supercar by definition, but I figured it could hang in there).
http://www.leftlanenews.com/new-car-buying/ferrari/california/specifications/

And Japan has... The Lexus LFA.

http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/lfa/2012/features-specs.html

That's really hard between the LFA and GT. I'll take the LFA, because the GT in that picture is the one I'm assuming I'd get.

Results:
1. Lexus LFA
2. Ford GT
3. Audi R8
4. Ferrari California

Here's a new comparo:

[ProjectWHaT]

Agera by another billion miles.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I having a hard time picking between the Jaguar XJ220 and Porsche 959...um...um...Jaguar XJ220 it is!

 

[Dagger311]

300 SL.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Hard. Scratch that really hard. But I'll pick the xj220.

 

[Ameer67]

Gonna go with the Jaguar XJ220.

 

[mustang fanatic]

M1. I actually really like it.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

M1. I actually really like it.

I like them all but I like the xj220 a bit more.

 

[CTznOfTime]

I am hesitating between the extremes:

1929 Bentley
Or Agera

3rd place: Jag XK120
4th place: Gullwing

 

[Team THRT Drift]

M1 by far!

Then comes the Benz.

 

[JAHHAJ]

I saw the M1 and thought to myself, it's a done deal, I'm going for the M1

 

[Fazerfan]

BMW 760Li

MB S63 AMG

Continental Flying Spur

Beemer, Benz or Bentley?

 

[cbarbosa]

Merc.

 

[JAHHAJ]

What is this a Lloyd Banks song? (He did a song called Beemer Benz or Bentley) I'll take the Benz.
