Murc,Zonda,Carrera, 550, or Koenigsegg?

Which car do you think is better taking into account all aspects(speed, price, design, everything)
Lamborghini Murcielago 6.2
Pagani Zonda C12-S
Porsche Carrera GT
or the Ferrari 550 Maranello
I know there are others like the Enzo but i dont think thats fair. I know the 550 is front engined but just try to compare
I would personally pick the Murcielago just cause im like a diehard lamborghini fan

i'm voting for koenigsegg even though you don't have it listed as a choice on the poll the koenigsegg out ran the enzo in a mag i read. the writer said for raw gut churning speed go for the koenigsegg
against the zonda and enzo.
hmm....

Yea the 575 is more up to date than the 550...plus the 550/575 DO NOT belong in this company...maybe the Murci...but not w/the Koenigsegg...or the Carrera GT...kinda outclassed there...

I choose the GT...that beauty is a mechanical masterpice as only porsche could make it

The Zonda is second ..true italian passion

Koenigsegg is third...brute force supercar in a lightweight package

The Carrera GT outclasses this lot.

1. Carrera Gt

2. Zonda

3. 550 Maranello (not the 575)

4. Murcielago

The 550/575 can't even and shouldn't even be in the comparison. However, as much as I like the Murcielago I'm choosing the Zonda.

not really...top gear had "The Stig" drive both and the zonda covered the track in 1:23.8 and the koenig in 1:23.9

so they are almost identical in track performance

Still IMO the Gt can take both of those...i can barelly wait for the Stig to get his hands on one to test it

Re: Murc,Zonda,Carrera, 550, or Koenigsegg?

i have read that porsche built the carrera gt to go against the enzo. so the enzo should be in there. but since it isnt in there, i wont talk about that.

it hurts me to go astray from ferrari, so i cant not pick it. so i would have to go with the ferrari cuz i am a diehard fan. but if the ferrari wasnt in there, i would probably pick the pagani zonda.

Re: Murc,Zonda,Carrera, 550, or Koenigsegg?

yeah thats true lol. the stig is awesome. the track times may not be totally accurate though, i assume the stig doesnt do every car perfectly, but than again i guess part of that would be because of the car so your right maybe i should have includeded the koenigsegg. i was scared to put in the enzo cause it wastes the murcielago and maranello, i guess i should have either done two different polls, one for cars like the murcielago and one for the cars that are a step above them

Yeah I have that video and let me tell you, it looks fantastic. If I remember correctly it is the fastest car that TopGear had tested right? Just barely outing the Zonda by a few mph. They claim it can do 245, but that can be argued, until I see til then...

Yeah but if you think of it this way, if you put in Enzo in it, you would know where all the votes would go. I'm sorry but, the Enzo is damn near in a class of its own (subjective). Sorry for the double post. You could of added the Ford GT just to throw in a more diverse lineup if you know what I mean.

Im going to have to choose the Koenigsegg on this one though. From what I've seen (not personally) it would be a very fun car.

qoute from evo mag: "which is best? for the sheer buz and technological whizz bangery, and for the sheer kudos of driving the worlds most famous car makers ultimate car, it has to be the enzo. For raw gut churning accelerative fury, enigmative image and sylistic originality koenigsegg is king. but for the purity and polish of its dynamics, the sense of ease and confidence you get from extracting such extrodanary performance, for the every minute every mile all compassing involvement you get from driving it the pagani remains the pinnacle".

and since i'm more into the raw gut churning eccelarative speed. thats the reason i picked koenigsegg, plus its suppose to have a higher top speed then the mclaren.

Re: Murc,Zonda,Carrera, 550, or Koenigsegg?

Yeah i'd say the Enzo, Koenigsegg, Mclaren and cars like that woulda made an interesting poll but i just had to have my lamborghini in there so i had to try and balance it out. i added the zonda because of the top gear episode where they were directly compared, so i added the 550 so that it was at least a little fair and the carrera is a variable at this point but it looks to be a pretty nice car that can easily compete with the others
