BMW 760Li

MB S63 AMG

Continental Flying Spur

Beemer, Benz or Bentley?

I'll take the Mercedes I guess.

Country vs country: Classic sports cars!

(Assume all cars are zero miles. Money doesn't come into play, some dude rolls all these into your driveway and offers to pay for it, and maitenance. You can pick any colors as well.)

America brings us the ever-lovely 1958 Corvette.

Specs here (579D): http://thevettenet.com/corvette_specs.php?year=1958

From Germany, we'll give the 1958 BMW 507.

Specs:

• 3,168 CC OHV 90° Alloy V-8 Engine
• Twin Zenith 32 NDIX Carburetors
• 150 BHP at 5,000 RPM
• 4-Speed Manual Gearbox
• 4-Wheel Hydraulic Alfin Drum Brakes
• Independent Front Suspension with Parallel Wishbones and Torsion Bars
• Live Rear Axle with Torsion Bars

From Italy, we have a 1974 Fiat Abarth 124 Spider.

No specs list available.

From Japan, who didn't have much from this era to choose from, the 1967 Datsun 1600 roadster.

Specs: http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/default.aspx?carID=13738&i=2#menu

I'm going Corvette, BMW, Fiat, then Datsun.

Easily the Vette.

Anyway, easily the BMW.

Results:
1. BMW 507
2. Chevrolet Corvette
3. Datsun 1600 Roadster
4. Fiat 124 Spider

Anyway, I'm going to do a more fair version of this comparo:

1958 Chevrolet Corvette (C1)

OR

1973 BMW 3.0 CSi

OR

1966 Fiat Abarth OT 2000

OR

1973 Toyota Crown Super Saloon (S100)

Again, I'll take the Corvette.

Corvette. I would be choosing based on cruising where dynamics and, to a point, performance don't matter to me. I find the Corvette the most stylish, especially in the red/white colour combo, and I see myself rocking the Vette a lot more over the others.

< or ~AU$85k - Oddball sports cars

2005 TVR T350t - 3.6L Straight-6 (257kW/345hp, 390Nm/287lb-ft) - $81,900

1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 - 8.0L V10 (309kW/415hp, 661Nm/488lb-ft) - $85,888

2006 Bullet Roadster V8 SS - 4.0L Supercharged V8 (320kW/429hp, 575Nm/424lb-ft) - $79,888

Just in case one asks, the Bullet is not in fact an MX-5 with a V8 conversion, it's a bespoke chassis with bodywork made to look like an MX-5, with a reworked 1UZ-FE Lexus V8.

Viper.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M

View attachment 198582

or


Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder

I'll take the Ferrari, sell it and buy a Mustang.

 

[Dagger311]

Ferrari, but without the stripe.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Ferrari, but without the stripe.

But it adds 50 hp!

 

[Dagger311]

But it adds 50 hp!

May be so, but I don't really like stripes on most Ferraris. F12s look cool with a white or silver one running down each side of the emblem, and there's a couple others that look nice with them.

Same with Corvettes, don't care much for stripes on them.

I was joking.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Are you sure that Gallardo's rear wheel drive?

 

[Dagger311]

I was joking.

I was joking when I said may be so, and then explained some exceptions .

But seriously, if I had a picture of my nfs rivals f12 and Enzo, I'd suow you what I'm talking about. Nice, thin white stripes on each side of the logo.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Are you sure that Gallardo's rear wheel drive?

It is.

 

[JAHHAJ]

BMW, Abarth, TVR, Lambo.

 

[Dagger311]

Okay, new comparison. Country vs country, modern sports cars!

C7 Corvette:

Vs Porsche Cayman.

Vs Alfa Romeo 4c

Vs the 2014 370Z Nismo.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Easily the American car.

 

[Dagger311]

I don't think anyone needed to ask me... The 370Z.

Of course it's the vette.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Cayman for me.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Cayman, I love Porsches.

 

[cbarbosa]

Cayman.

 

[CTznOfTime]

In normal times, i would pick Cayman.

But here i am going with 4C!

 

[Adamgp]

Corvette.

 

[AlvaroF]

Head wrestles with heart again. Head says Porsche because it's brilliant in every way, heart says 4C because it's lovely and it's an Alfa.

1. Alfa Romeo 4C
2. Porsche Cayman S (otherwise it's again unbalanced)
3. Nissan 370Z Nismo (because Nismo, otherwise it would be the 'Vette)
4. Chevy 'Vette (C7)

 

[Slash]

Corvette

 

[ProjectWHaT]

4C but with different headlights

 

[GranTurismo916]

Okay, new comparison. Country vs country, modern sports cars!

C7 Corvette:

Vs Porsche Cayman.

Vs Alfa Romeo 4c

Vs the 2014 370Z Nismo.

That's hard...I'll take the US version of the 4C.

Results:
1. Afla Romeo 4C
2. NISMO 370Z
3. Chevrolet Corvette C7
4. Porsche Cayman

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Bentley, BMW, TVR, gallardo and 4c.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Vette.

 

[Dagger311]

1969 Z/28 Camaro.

Or 2015 Z/28 Camaro.

For a nice 1969, the prices would be the same. Any paint/rims you want, assume the 69 Camaro is in perfect shape.

 

[mustang fanatic]

1969. Didn't even have to think about it.

 

[Dagger311]

69. Didn't even have to think about it.

Same. The 69 Z/28 is the one car that I'll work all my life to own.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Um isn't the red camaro a 1lt or whatever it is? Anyway I'd pick the old z28.

There's a Z/28 badge on it, and I pulled the picture from a Z/28 article.

Actually it says SS.
