Fast Club

So what do you think, fellas? When you"re comparing, please do not just consider the speed, but also exclusivity, comfort, ride, handling and etc..
for me, it is

1) Ferrari F430
2) Aston Martin DB9
3) Lamborghini Gallardo
4) Porsche 911 turbo S


Which one is gonna be no.1 for you? Number 2? Number 3? Number 4?

Re: Fast Club

Even though the 911 Turbo S is probably the quickest point-to-point, it's an outgoing model so it's the first to fall out of the reckoning for me. That's right Neutrino, I'm placing the Porsche last. Once the 997 TT appears, however

Next to go is the Gallardo. It sounds and looks good but strangely doesn't do it for me. A Lamborghini can't not have scissor doors. Lacks passion.

The DB9 is a handsome looking thing and is easily the classiest of the bunch but is the worst of the four dynamically, and i'd rather have its little brother, the V8 Vantage.

Which leaves the F430. It sounds like a proper Ferrari should (not tinny like the 360) and looks aggressive, although quite messy at the back. It's the lightest of the bunch and with a monstrous 480 bhp it doesn't hang about. In Nurburgring Silver please, or black.

Re: Fast Club

F430 for me, in Ferrari Red. The performance is excellent, it's got tons of exclusivity, and the interior and ride are both passable. The 911 Turbo S would be next. As much as I like AWD for its added stability and safety, I don't think it has any place on a high-end Porsche. And as endearing as the rear-engine platform is to the car's history, it isn't conventional for a modern performance car, which is why the Boxster S is said to handle better, despite being a roadster as opposed to a coupe. Up next is the Gallardo. Fast as it may be, Lamborghini's lack of actual racing experience is a big detriment to the car in my eyes. The car is also overweight, thanks in large part to its AWD system (which again, I feel is unnecessary on this caliber of car). Lastly is the DB9. It's by far the worst performer of the bunch, and I don't even think it looks all that great (though I'm sure I'll get flamed for this).

The F430 and the 911 Turbo S would be pretty close for me. I love German engineering and styling (no, really) and the 911 Turbo S is just about the pinnacle of that for me. On the other hand, the Ferrari is an incredibly beautiful car, and probably handles better. Its a close call.

I don't like Lambo, never really have. The styling is far inferior in my eyes to Ferrari and Porsche. They just look odd to me.

I like the styling of the DB9, but I don't think that its nearly as good of a car as the F430 or the 911.

Re: Fast Club

Well I can't tell you how comfortable any of them are but based on look and drivetrain I real like the F430. The Aston is probably the nicest to drive through.

Re: Fast Club

Although I am one of the biggest Aston fans, I would rather have the F430 with all the F1 technology it has...

Re: Fast Club

I cannot really decide whether the F430 is really better than the Gallardo or not... When it comes to performance, I mean!
