Lol, did he just call it the Ferrari Spaghetti??

Funny cause everytime I see the name, that's what I think of too!

Anyway, Ferrari is a bad example, I was not thinking of their front-engine cars at all, I just thought about the cars like the 360, testerosa, stuff like that, it looked about the same, just got more curvy as the years went by. But Lamborghini looks pretty alike, and some Porsches do, but they did have a few front-engine cars too which looked different.

Hey, at least we can safely say Jaguars look pretty unique for the most part, hehe.

Since you asked

I'm kidding... the Gallardo and Murc are pretty similarly styled.. then again you'd be surprised how compact the Gallardo looks in the flesh (or should that be metal). Very easy to tell from the Murc

Re: Top of the line cars!!!

Would anybody laugh at me if I say that I would prefer any Aston over any Lambo, any Ferrari, or any Porsche any day?

Well Aston's don't have the same performance but they are the nicest cars to sit in and look at IMO. So I wouldn't laugh. I mean really, how many of us can exploit the full potential of these cars. And even if we can, how often do we do it?

But I want to bring up another supercar.

Call me stupid but the GT40's handling feels a lot better than the Zonda in Gran Turismo 3. That's a car I'd love to own. Now that's a big statement considering I don't like Fords and I hate V8's. But it means nothing because there's none available and I can't afford one if there was.

Is there anyone here who's lucky enough to have driven both the Zonda and the GT40? Is there such a difference in their performance? Or do the programmers just make all MR cars handle like they're on rails?

Re: Top of the line cars!!!

when i saw a murc on the road last year, it was actually pretty small. but it just looks big. plus, lamborghini is a huge competition to ferrari, so of course i wouldn't like them that much.

I wouldn't trust the way cars handle in those games, trust me. People claim how accurate it is, but basically what they consider "Realistic" is simply a lack of traction. You'd have to slow all the way down to take a turn unless you're going to "drift." And in real life, these supercars can take turns at 100mph and you won't even hear any tire squeal.

Re: Top of the line cars!!!

I would take the Porsche 911 Turbo. However, if the v12 vanquish was an option I might change my vote.
