Alright, I included the option, but please vote for your choice, or at least state your vote in a reply. I'd like as many opinions as possible, so that I can pass them on.




Alright, here's the deal - My dad regrets getting the E55 over the 550 Maranello, but the AMG has whet his appetite for a true supercar.

His first choice was the new DB7 GT, which he's already put a non-refundable $5k deposit. But Momentum Houston still doesn't know what color they're getting, and my dad does NOT want the baby blue that the rest of America is getting. It's a 435hp 6.0 V12, and rated at 0-60mph in 4.5sec, top speed 185mph.

His next choice was a Ruf RTurbo, Ruf's faster version of the 911 GT2. The car is by far the fastest and quickest, but stickers at $215k, not including the costs for importation and registration. 0-60mph in 3.7sec and 230mph.

Then there's the 911 GT2 that we saw at Momentum. The car is roughly the same price as the Aston (~$165k) but has much better performance. 0-60mph in 3.9sec, 198mph. $160k.

And today, he had his eye on the new 360 Challenge Stradale (he even read the entire article). For a tad more than the normal Modena ($195k vs. $160k) you get a more hardcore version. I'm not sure of the performance numbers, but mark my word, they ARE impressive.



So, what's your flava?


BTW, this is a serious thread. at will, but please, post your opinion at least once.

 

I voted for :accordingly:

But I say 360 challenge stradele in a New York minute. No doubt.

Aston .... it has far more class than aby of the others

 

James, the Aston wins in that department by far, but it's also the least performance-oriented. It's no minivan by any means, but when you're throwing around names like Ruf, Porsche, and Ferrari, the Aston Martin doesn't come close.

With that said, I think it's obvious my dad's next toy isn't gonna be a daily driver. Most likely it will be a weekend/car meet/track event car, and in that case, the other 3 are far better choices.

We track all our cars, and I don't think the Aston is the best choice.

 

 

One of these aren't a bad choice either, but I'd still take the Ferrari

RUF!

360 would be a great choice, too... I just think the RUF would be the most hard core track toy of them...

 

I dunno, that RUF looks and sounds pretty good to me. Although, i'll have to vote . So, all in all, my vote(post) goes towards the RUF.
