| 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. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

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 250mph ).
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.  -------------

Mosler MT900 for me. I've had a ride in one, the acceleration is amazing. |

i agonised for ages over the merits of a Porsche over a Ferrari, i really couldn't make my mind up - in the end i couldn't decide and bought both, a vulgar show of decadence some people would think, a disgusting display of wealth, what would the neighbours think? and what about garage space?
....i doubt if the neighbours or anyone would ever find out, i could find space for them i suppose................the cars are only ten inches long!!

The road legal one, unfortunately it was one of the low spec ones (a mere 400 bhp) |

I didn realise they came in two specs, and thats still only 80hp of the 900R! ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Well there's one being built at the moment which will have a 650 bhp engine, and apparently thats a standard option. Also according to the factory owner there are several on the road with over 700 bhp, most of them in Germany. |

First I've heard of it, as far as I know (knew) all MT900's had tuned Chevy small block engines putting out 400-450hp, and its main objective was to be a GT2 class car, so wouldnt changing specs on each car get a bit confuseing when homoligating the car. Of course this could be all aftermarket stuff which wouldnt matter as it isnt factory spec. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

| I love both. But, own neither. I reckon if I could afford one, it'd probably be a Porsche 911 Carrera though - a little more discreet than a Ferrari, probably just as fast, and more usable day in day out. Or Aston Martin actually.....in the meantime am very happy to stick with my Mini. |

The problem is that there are several different factories building them, some to the official spec and some taking the basic chassis and body and putting their own spec running gear in. The factory I visited builds the standard, racing and high(er) spec cars. |

I didnt know this, I always thought that there was a single Mosler factory (I think somewere like Virginia state) and Martin Short's Rollcentre operation imported them to Europe. You learn something every day. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I believe that is the way the standard cars get here but the other factories which build them buy the rights to build the design and tend to build the cars to their customers' specification. |
