Exactly.


It's like if you were to pick up a dog from the pound. There's this cute little puppy that's got everyone's attention. Everybody wants it. It's the most beautiful dog in the whole place. All the kids just love it.

Then there's this 14 year old fat Labrador with tics, bald spots, cancer, has 2 of it's orginal 3 legs (birth defect) amputated and you are told it only has about a month to live.

That's the dog Mopar would get. lol

Ok, I'd pick the ferari. This is one of the rare cases I would openly admit this.

I would butcher the interior, leave the engine as is though.
If I would drive an italian ponycar it'd be as spartanic as the F40.

I'd replace powersteering with a manual rack, get rid of all the luxury gimmicks like airco and stuff. Supercars are made to kill yourself against the first tree on the road with incredible speed, laughing maniacally and with your eyes so wide open they nearly fall out of your sockets.

Adrenaline rush pure.

If I would survive I'd want to get out of the car with a rediculous hairdo though.

Then again, in a track race, I'm still going to stick with the Ferrari. It's faster in a straight line, has a much lower weight, and would no doubt handle better than a Diablo predecessor.

So once again, I'll stick with the prancing horse.
is it faster in a straight line? i saw 4 second 0-60mph on another website. it has quite a bit more power, keep that in mind. the 0-100mph wasn't recorded i dont think so we dont know for sure but my guess is that it will beat the Ferrari to 100 because of power advantage.

*gasp* Vaccum assisted brakes? That would be like driving in the Suburban right?

what does Vacuum assist do anyways? pull hot air away from the brakes and suck cool air over them? brake fade resistant?

So? Does it really matter what I'd want? In most cases, I could care less about the cars being compared. I might as well present what I think are advantages to the "lesser" car.

My honest to god opinion doesn't matter if I can get someone to really think about their choice.

But yeah, like I said, I'd still take the Cizeta. It's slower, fatter and uglier, but it'd just be so much fun because I'd be the only guy at a track meet to have one. I'd never get bored with it.
