Would you rather?

[Populuxe]

GT-R LM. It's a brutalist masterpiece.

 

[Volksauto]

Iconic American muscle or iconic German beauty?

I’ll take the Ghia any day.
What would happen if you tried racing the Chevy?

 

[UltimateYosh]

GTR-LM, although its close.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

The Nissan and the 57 Chevy. Even though I prefer the 55.
And Volksauto, the Ghia wouldn't stand a chance on a track. Look how the US irons run at Goodwood. The Ghia is just a fancy body on a Beetle. (It's very pretty though)

Oh, I’m sure he knows that. Here’s the full text of the VW ad he posted. VW’s US ad agency was Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB), and their print ads for VW were legendary. Truly some of the best ever made. There are some very good books and articles about them. They’re worth a read.

Never caught the connection. Was of course never advertised like that over here.
Different background gives different association

 

[dragster666]

its the early 2000s and you have saved enough for one of these three TVR's which one would you choose?
TVR Tuscan S

TVR Tamora

TVR Sagaris

 

[Populuxe]

I would go for the Tuscan. The curves are perfect.

 

[UltimateYosh]

Sagaris.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Safaris. Purely on looks because I have no idea of the specs

 

[Adamgp]

Tuscan.

 

[Neddo]

Tuscan, then Tamora, but even Sagaris would satisfy me

 

[MoLiEG]

Tuscan.

Porsche Carrera GT

or
Jaguar XJR 15

 

[Populuxe]

 

[Sippie]

XJR-15, any day of the week. But i am a fan of the carrera gt and porsche it's self, Jaguar takes my heart more

 

[CountessGardy]

As much as I like the Carrera GT, I'm gonna have to go with the Jag on this one

 

[05XR8]

Porsche, with its Minority Report murder ball.

 

[SuperSportX]

Definitely the XJR-15, reminds me alot of the CLK-GTR in regards to the transmission whine/V12 combo and being pretty brutal to drive and I also have a extreme soft spot for 90s Supercars.
