I prefer the GT-2. It would be a little bit more comfortable during the long haul. Also, I dont think I can stand the high pitched high-reving Ferrari V8 for 3000 miles. It sound good but too much of a good thing might be a bit annoying.

GT2, that CS would eat my eardrums, destroy my kidneys, swallow the gas tank and it's got no radio...I mean, 3,000 miles is a LOOOONG rally...And I plan to do it when I come up with 25 grand I don't need.

i'd normally pick the ferrari but for this purpose i think the GT2 might be better suited, and i might have a better chance of staying sane... 3000 miles and no radio...

Well.. i wasn't exactly asking you which one you'd drive yourself.. just which one would think think would win ;).. but yeah, other opinions for other cases are only productive! :)

I'm pretty sure the GT2 would be driven by Lonman if its from the Gumball 3000, so he would trash any Ferrari 360 in a race, he is possibly the best Gumball-type racer in the whole world! he is also the 'doughnut king', and from the UK ;) :p but then, so are most of the Gumballers :)

and I think everyone here already knows I would take the GT2 :cool:

I assume u when you say which do you prefer you mean to do the rally. I take the CS. The sound of the v8 a 6,000 revs would keep me going for the race

360 CS no doubt. It's so cool. I dont care about radio or anything. It's comfrtable enough for me, and it'd be more fun.

Challenge Stradale for me. I love the way it's stripped down. And i would make sure that i drive so fast, that i have to completely focus myself on driving. So i wouldn't need music:p

I'd pick the GT2 on all cases. It's such a BEAST, and very hard to control, and I like that. ;)
