So let's settle this, the FinalGear way. Which do you think is better - the Ferrari Daytona?

or the Lamborghini Miura?

does the daytona take off and fly into trees too?
 
The Daytona looks great but the Miura is just something else completely.
 
The one Hampster drove in 12x05... the one with pop-up lights looked better than the one pictured there.... But I'd still take the Lambo.
 
Oh fuck, you just had to pick those two, didn't you?

I love the Lamborghini because it was designed and built by the employees in their spare time and it was both beautiful and revolutionary. It looks like utter pornography and sounds like god mid-coitus.

The Daytona, when it was released, was the fastest thing on the road. It's simpler, more refined and elegant. It's Audrey Hepburn in car-form.

EDIT: Wow, looks like I'm in the serious minority. I went for the Daytona. I love both cars, and if I were in a different mood I might have gone for the Lamborghini (it has always been a favorite of mine). Here's why I went for the Ferrari: First of all, I think it's more refined. The Lamborghini is a bit mad, like all Lambos. I can see myself cruising around La Jolla in the Daytona, but I can't really see that in the Lambo. Also, the Miura had a bad tendency to get light in the front the faster you went, I think they finally sorted that out by adding an air-dam to the later years run, but it spoiled the look.

Maybe when I'm in a more gonzo mood I'll look at this and kick myself in the ass, but if you had them here right now I would pick the Daytona.

OH MAN! You cruel cruel person you!

It's so tough, if the If it was a daytona convertable, I'd have to go with the daytona, but just the regular daytona, then I'd go muira.
 
There's absolutely no comparison for me. Just about anything vs. Miura, and Miura will win ;)

Also, I never really got the appeal of Daytona. TG last night helped a bit, tho.
 
I was still downloading when I wrote my post. It feels pretty good to hear Hammond saying almost exactly what was on my mind.
 
Is there a "none of the above" option? The Daytona's looks always leave me cold and the Miura isn't much better to my eye. Sorry.

I'd much rather have this:

+rep to the first person to identify it without having to resort to reading the URL or Wikipedia.
 
Neither, frankly. I don't like the way either of them look, really...the Miura if i had to choose though.
 
^XJ13 of course, wasn't there a company that was making replicas of those several years ago?
 
Miura. It looks better, and if top speed is your main concern you wouldn't be buying a 40+ year old car. The Miura is more likely to catch on fire and kill me, but I consider the Viking funneral as one of the perks of owning it.
 
^XJ13 of course, wasn't there a company that was making replicas of those several years ago?

There are several companies making replicas and at least one making a kit.

There's at least two XJ220 kits that are supposed to be coming to market soon, too.

+rep coming your way. :D
 
Miura, hands down. I've always believed Lamborghini > Ferrari any day.

However, if you had ignored the TG episode and used this Ferrari instead:

:wub:


Things would have been far more different. It makes the Miura look wonky in comparison.
 
Oh, wow, very minority.

After seeing 12x05, that's just done it for me. Brilliant.
