^ I'd take the GT(43), the Viper is nice but it ain't the 2nd-gen GTS. And the Z06 can be found anywhere!

_______________________________________

I too really like the parents question, so here are mine:

2013 Scion FR-S. Never been driven hard, unmodified. Bought during a mid life crisis. The purists choice, though not that powerful nor overly practical.

628x471.jpg


2014 Honda Civic Si Sedan. Daily driven, occasionally driven hard by a certain hoodlum. Great fun, fantastic engine and gearbox but awful steering. Pretty quick.

01.jpg


2010 Honda Fit. Thrashed to within an inch of its life. Has been sideways, backwards, and drag raced. Will do at least 105 mph, or so I'm told. Flawless reliability, very practical and cheap to run, good daily driver. Surprisingly fun and involving to drive.

^ I'd pick the FR-S, practicality-wise is a been-there-done-that situation already (used to own an even more impractical S2000).

Nissan GTR Nismo vs Chevy Corvette Z06



Video summary: Even though the GTR has less power, more weight, less braking power, and less sticky tires, it is faster than a Z06.

Z06. All of the latest Chevys are pretty awesome. Actually, all of the American cars coming out lately are awesome.

I'm taking the Cadillac. Corvette Z06 engine :drool:.
They're both pretty ugly, but the CTS-V because 'Murica.
CTS-V. 👍

While I'm sure that M5 is an awesome car, I just don't think it's going to be what made the M5 so famous today. The Caddy on the other hand, I expect that to be what makes the CTS-V what it will be viewed as in 5 years (in a good way).

Were it these two I'd have a different opinion.

Yeah. :cool:
E39 all day. 👍

Kind of impressive to see how far Caddy has come over the years.
E39 by miles. Also, that's my dad's dream car.
Alright, time for something a little different from my usual "American Luxury sedan/sports car vs. Foreign Rival" and "Mercedes/Maserati/Other European luxury brand vs. Rival brand" comparisons.

I'll take the Rogue.
The Quest. I always had a soft spot for those things. :lol:

But really, if I had to own one, the Rogue.
I like the parents question... Quest btw. 👍

For me it's (in order of best to worst)

911 GT3 RSR
R8 LMS Ultra
GT-R GT3
12C GT3
Vantage GT3
Continental GT3
430 GT3
Z4 GT3
 
Rang Rover.

Whichever is most valuable. I'm not a racer, nor do I plan to be. If I had to choose, then the Aston.
I think they are all worth the same. They are all built to the same specifications
 
12C, because Gulf livery.

On a serious note, either the 458, 911, or the Vantage.

EDIT: Yeah, thought the pic looked a bit off. Definatly not a 458. Still, would drive.

Mercedes-Benz-GL550_2010_800x600_wallpaper_0c.jpg

Both vehicles pictured are identical to ours.

This is hard for me. I love both cars, but I would have to pick the GL, since its quicker, and has more torque. The E class can carve corners better than the GL, but the GL doesn't handle too badly at all. Plus it goes anywhere, and I prefer the overdone looks.

Edit: I changed my choice.
