Sorry, I'd take a Lambourghini or Maserati over both.  Actually, I'd even take the new Aston Mrtin DB9 or Vantage.

Ferraris break and cost too much to repair. Besides, the new F430 must be the ugliest Ferrari ever. Porsche for the win!

Porsche is too common and Ferrari too visible
 
 
Real class >>> Aston Martin
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I agree with that, but the (discontinued, I believe) McLaren F1 would kick some major ass in any subject except maybe interior style. The thing is a beast.

Nice choice...the McLaren F1...perhaps the ultimate supercar...its makers didn't compromise in its development. Not available new anymore but commands huge 2nd hand prices; the new big thing is the Bugatti Veyron but it looks overweight to me compared to the F1.
 
OK OK I haven't driven either; nor have I driven a Ferrari or Porsche but given the choice I'd go for the Porsche. Despite the Italian marques' attraction, the Porsche seems the better engineered and more usable beast to me, overall. Meantime I'll have to stick to my Mini!

^Phil, your right about the Veyron being heavy, its nearly 2 tonns (and still does 250mphShocked).
 
Stonie, those figuers are wrong, the F1 is $1,000,000 car and does 242mph.
 
Personally I prefer the small car companies like Spyker, Panoz, Noble, Morgan, TVR, Saleen, Calloway, Veemac, Cizeta, Koniggseg etc, stuff like this:

I'll definately take the Italian class of the Ferrari over the German engineering. 

I don't drive, and I don't really care to, but if you ever understood the consqeuences of driving, not on your wallet but on the enviroment you live in, you might be the same way.Wink
