I'ts always very interesting to see which side people sit in these famous rivalries. Which of these are your favourites:


Senna Vs Prost

Subaru Impreza Vs Mitsubishi Evo

Bentley Vs Rolls Royce

Hakkinen Vs Schumacher

205 GTI Vs Golf GTI

Gran Turismo Vs Forza

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi

Mini Vs 500

Hamilton Vs Alonso

Ford Vs Holden



Can anyone think of any more?
 
There are only two of these where I strongly take a side.

Subaru Impreza Vs Mitsubishi Evo

Any Lancer >>>>>>> Its equivalent Impreza. (I'll admit I'm a very serious Subaru hater)

Gran Turismo Vs Forza

The number one reason to buy a PS3 isn't even out yet. Unfortunately, I have an Xbox. :lol:
 
I'm going to answer the ones that really matter to me.

What I prefer:

Subaru Impreza

Rolls Royce

Schumacher

Golf GTI

Forza - better physics, damage model and customization. May not have as many cars, but it has the ones that really matter. Just my opinion.

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi - (Not answered yet. Tough choice)

Mini Vs 500

New 500, old Mini.
 
^^ You're trying too hard. That's my opinion on the Impreza/Evo one. I'd rather have a car that works on the track, rather than a track car that works on the road.
So:
Subaru Impreza Vs Mitsubishi Evo

Gran Turismo Vs Forza

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi

Mini Vs 500
(Both New and Old)

Ford Vs Holden

...are the only ones I care about.

I think I beat your post, because I too prefer the Subaru Impreza. Are you meaning to reply to the person above me?
 
You did indeed beat me, but I put in a double ^, which shows I am talking about the post above the post above. :p
 
Senna Vs Prost

Hakkinen Vs Schumacher

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi (hard to choose, I like different cars of each manufacturer)

Hamilton Vs Alonso (didn't bother me at the time, both raced for McLaren so I was cool with either/or winning).

Ford Vs Holden


Can anyone think of any more?

Mosley vs FOTA

Rossi vs Stoner

McLaren vs Ferrari

Webber vs Vettel

Can anyone think of any more? No
 
Camaro vs. Mustang? Ferrari vs. Lamborghini? 911 vs. Corvette? Gordon vs. Earnhardt? Boxers vs. briefs? Sheesh, you guys are missing a lot here. ;)
 
Senna Vs Prost

205 GTI Vs Golf GTI

Gran Turismo Vs Forza

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi

Mini Vs 500

Hamilton Vs Alonso - Dont care

The question is, what year cars are we talking about?
things like camaro/mustang could be very different depending on year, 500/mini even more so because they are totally different cars now.
 
Senna Vs Prost

Subaru Impreza Vs Mitsubishi Evo

Bentley Vs Rolls Royce

Hakkinen Vs Schumacher

205 GTI Vs Golf GTI

Gran Turismo Vs Forza

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi

Mini Vs 500

Hamilton Vs Alonso

Ford Vs Holden

Vs Schumacher

205 GTI
Vs Golf GTI

Senna Vs Prost
I love Prost, but I love Senna more. RIP

Subaru Impreza Vs Mitsubishi Evo
Not a contest really. I love Imprezas.

Bentley Vs Rolls Royce

Hakkinen Vs Schumacher

205 GTI Vs Golf GTI

Gran Turismo Vs Forza
Forza has much better physics, imho.

Mercedes Vs BMW Vs Audi
Its a tough call between Audi and BMW, I love both. Never liked Merc though.

Mini Vs 500

Hamilton Vs Alonso
Don't care :|

Ford Vs Holden

Camaro vs. Mustang
Err... 03-04 Terminator Cobra wins overall. Otherwise, I'll take an f-body.

Ferrari vs. Lamborghini
Hammer smashes scalpel into pieces.

911 vs. Corvette
Tough. Very tough. I love the Z06 but 911 Turbo and GT3 are just fantastic.

Gordon vs. Earnhardt
I'd rather be water boarded than forced to watch NASCAR

Boxers vs. briefs


edit:
Land Rover vs Jeep
On the road, LR wins hands down. Hell, I'd love to own a Rangie. Off-road they are comparable but I like the screw-the-road-built-only-for-rock-climbing-and-mudding of Jeeps... I'd be more daring in a Jeep, I think, simply because I wouldnt want to cause any damage to my super expensive luxury SUV (even though its more-or-less equally capable)

FWD vs RWD
Don't bash FWD though - they are a lot more capable than people give them credit for

turbocharger vs supercharger
vrooooooooooooooooooooom pssst

Canon vs Nikon
:p I respect both but prefer Canon
