The Car Comparison Game!!! (part 2)

[RX-7 Steve]

Well, the first thread was closed by the Mods, and for good reason. Without explaining the choices the whole thing was kinda pointless. So here's the new version; same game, slightly different rules:

RULE #1: Choose one of the two cars listed by the member above you, and explain in detail why you chose that car over the other. What qualities of that vehicle makes it a better option in your opinion?
RULE #2: After making/explaining your choice, list another pair of cars for the next member to choose from. Note: you may only compare cars in the same class/category.
RULE #3: You may not criticize another member for their choice/opinion. If a member however posts false/incorrect information you may correct that member if you have a legitimate source of information proving otherwise. No flaming!




This version should be more fun and alot more insightful. So here's the first comparison:

1969 Ford Mustang or 1969 Cheverolet Camaro?

[blakscorpion21]

mustang, it came 1st and the camaro kinda went off what the mustang had too offer. plus i think it is better looking.

300zx vs c4 corvette.

[RX-7 Steve]

Well, both those cars are closely matched in terms of performance, but I guess I'd take the 300ZX twin-turbo just because it's slightly nicer in my opinion.








Datsun 240Z or Toyota 2000GT?

[RX-7 Steve]

Hello? Anyone in here tonight?

[blakscorpion21]

how did the 300zx get a lower engine rating when it had more power and a better 0-60 time? lol.

anyways ill pick the 2000gt because of rarity. both cars are pretty similar and very good looking but id give a slight edge to the 2000gt.

toyota supra tt vs mustang cobra(last gen model)

[RX-7 Steve]

I'd rather own the Supra twin-turbo. I mean, I love the classic Mustangs from the '60's and '70's, but the later model 'Stangs are just a "dime-a-dozen". The Supra is more exclusive and collectable.




Mazdaspeed MX-5 or Pontiac Solstice?

[PlayStation3]

defentialy the Pontiac Solstice cause you can get a v8 option on it. plus it looks better and mazda= ford so yea.

vr4 3kgt or a ws6 trans am

I didn't know that Pontiac offered a V8 Solstice. That's awesome! I love the looks of the Solstice; very attractive design.

I am a big fan of both the VR-4 and WS-6, so that is a hard decision for me. Also, the year/generation of each would be a big factor in my deciding. Although I prefer the design of the '99 VR-4 (except for the wing), I'd probably choose the last-generation(#?) WS-6. But I would take a VR-4 Spyder over any Trans-Am any day of the week.




New Challenger or New Camaro?

[del]

never saw anyone reply to his own thread so much.

anyway, new challenger for me. if we're judging based on concept alone (until the actual production models come out for a realistic street comparison, that's what i'm going on). the new challengers looks like a home run. hopefully the rest of the car backs up its good looks. i've been reading 400hp for the camaro and 425hp for the challenger but again, i'd have to make a more solid choice once the production models come out.

now let's' get back to current model cars. audi RS4 or bmw M3 CS.

[DinanM3_S2]

Tough one...

As you all know, I'm an M3 nut. The E46 M3 CS (competition package in the US) gives alot of what the CSL gave without the price or the horsepower jump or wieght loss. The more direct steering ratio, M DSC mode, and bigger breaks make the M3 sportier without costing you alot of the comforts that come with a BMW 3-Series. On the other hand, the M3 is getting pretty dated, especially given that we will see the E92 M3 within a year or so. Powerwise the M3 is pretty far behind the RS4. The M3 would have a hell of a time keeping up with the RS4 in almost any test of performance. So technically the RS4 is the better car. Its bigger, faster, and more refined then the aging M car.

But despite it all, I love the M3 too much. I don't care how much faster your Audi goes in a 1/4 mile or around a track, I like my car more then yours for reasons I struggle to explain in words. BMW wins.

Next comparison-
BMW Z4 M Roadster v. Porsche Boxster

[stamar]

oh man the porsche

I mean, if its time to join the club, its time to join the club for real.

lol I dont know how to belabor my point... but if youve got it hy get the bm. Go for the real sports car.

Also, every thing Ive read shows the boxster is the best handling vehicle in mass production. I dont understand how but consumer reports rated it 100 and a lotus elise 99. Thats what I want a sports car for.

Also jd power rated porsche #1 this year. I mean Im assuming ere talking 2006 models. Bmw, well I dont know I dont believe in that brand as far reliability. I wont bore you with why but I dont believe in them.



Ok here we go :

Mazda miata or toyota mr2 spider?

[thrasher]

Mazda miata or toyota mr2 spider

I'd have to go with the mr2 spider based solely on the fact that it is better performing with a high revving motor, and much more fun to drive. I don't particularly like the looks of either, so that's a wash. I haven't driven the new miata (I guess it's the MX-5 now) but it's supposed to be much better than the old one. But this is Miata vs. mr2, so it mr2 FTW.

Okay, next one is...
997 Carrera S vs. BMW M6

[fairladyz_gt-r]

I will take the M6. V10 engine from the F-1, and a 8250RPM redline, plus sexy styling....can't go wrong....

and for some reason...i think that porsche is not a real porsche unless is GT3, Turbo, GT2, GT1 or Carrera GT

Next Comparison

06 Impreza WRX wagon VS 9-2x Aero

[youngvr4]

well taking into consideration that there both produced out of the same factory, with the same platform...i'd choose the saab

reson being, the saab is better looking to me than the suby and is 6 grand cheaper than the suby, though it may be a few tenths of a second slower, mainly due to less tq, with just a few hundred in mods, you are running same times if not more than the suby, i also prefer the interior of the saab over the suby

New Challenger or New Camaro?

its not an option from the factory. some company put a corvette motor in the solstice and it was in a magazine.
