Why did they say the Charger was only made for 8 years in the 70's? I owned three of them from the 80's when I was in college during the 90's.

Ah, here's a picture.

Yeah, I know that. I was just trying to make a joke.
I am considering writing in to the "Help Jeremy buy the wrong Dodge" and tell him to buy the 80's version instead. That would really be the wrong Dodge, but it would fit in his garage better.

You should of known that I like simple yet powerful cars. I mean that's how the Viper is, the GT3 RS is just a much more expensive and better engineered piece of machinery. Don't get me wrong, I still love Vipers to death, but I have profound respect for that GT3.

I think if I had to choose between the two, I would stand at the same spot where the question was asked and die of starvation because I would not be able to make my mind up, there both just fantastic cars. images/smilies/lol.gif

I don't like the 911 styling and you see way too many of 'em.. so that's 2 pts less for the Porsche.

The 360 sound is awesome so that's +1.

well I don't need to say more.. my choice is the 360! images/smilies/lol.gif

German > Italian

Thus, I choose the 911 GT3 RS.

But when it comes down to these two cars, it's about the engineering and we all know how freakish the Germans are about engineering...
