Autocar actually ran the ZR1 vs a LP670 SV in a comparison test... This is a toughie for me though... But much as I like American muscle, i think i'm gonna have to favour the Lambo on this one. For some reason, i don't quite like the ZR1 as much as i did the Z06...

 

As for the prev one, I pick the Fiat. It doesn't look pretty, but I like it, especially since it's unique. Heh my mum even called it "frog eyed" because of the way the lights bulge up over the bonnet... This is actually a car I aspire to own one day, if I can find one in Singapore. There used to be a fair few about 10 years ago but many have disappeared since :(

The closest comparisons to the ZR1 are the 911 GT2, Nissan GTR(VSpec?) and Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR.

 

I'll go with the ZR1, I don't like the stripe in the Gallardo so much tbh, still a great car. If it was a normal LP560 or an LP560 Spyder(:drool:) I'll take it over the ZR1.

Ferrari. The Viper's too brash, and that particular one is to basic, whereas the Ferrari is technical, powerful, agressive, and smooth at the same time. Plus, the crackle and wail of the exhaust beats even the Viper's below. No competition with this one, though it would be closer if it was the Viper ACR against the standard 430. ;)

Ferrari, no real competition there.

 

This isn't anywhere near fair, Ferrari.

Actually its the Viper who's not a fair match for the Ferrari, considering that its the 2008 model. Only thing that the Scuderia is better at really is the 0-60 acceleration and maybe the handling but thats it. Not saying this just because I'm a viper fan but because you guys seem to be judging these cars just by the looks. I can't argue about each cars looks because thats a matter of taste, but performance is another story.

The 430 scud wins this by a mile.

Better in pretty much every way imaginable.

 

At least its not based on a design thats over 15 years old now... how many more will they do before people realise that? I guess the states have always been good at propaganda eh?! They did win Vietnam afterall ;)

The Ferrari F430 is based on the older 360. It isn't as old as the Viper but itself isn't from scratch(Like the 458)

 

I'll go with the Viper, a lot of power, a proper manual and decent handling, and great looks.

Except that the viper needs a whopping V10 (8.0L if i'm correct:shocked:) while the Ferrari "only" has a 4.3L V8...:thumbsup:

So looking at PURE performance the Viper still looses this one...

Not to mention the power/weight ratio and perhaps more important the handling...:cheeky:

You're right, but the Viper is still just another Viper. Granted its a new model but the 430 is a whole new car. It might have similarities to the 360, but all the good stuff from the 360 has been kept and the bad stuff (psycho handling) pretty much removed.

Looks? Looks had nothing to do with my judgement.

 

My judgement had to do with the amount of detail that goes into every single Ferrari. It's simply a much higher class than the Viper will ever be. Have you ever seen how a Ferrari is made?

 

The Viper is a good car but it's just not near as good as any Ferrari in the current lineup.
