I'm having a hard time voting in my own thread. The Ferrari has such an amazing look. The Lambo just looks fast standing still. The Mercedes-Benz is automatic (I hate manual). The DBS is a work of art. And the Bugatti is truly on of the most expensive and exclusive car on the planet earth.
Hard choice........ | | | | | Devotee

Hard choice........ | I am facing the same problem as you. The Ferrari is probably the best all round GT out there, and one of the best Ferrari ever. The Lambo just look out of this world, I saw black LP640 on the road, and my jaw just dropped to the floor. It looks like some sort of low flying spaceship. I just love the sound of the SLR when it is at full throttle. The DBS is just super cool with stunning interior design. The Bugatti is an engineering master piece. Tough choices indeed. | | | | | Contributor

One of the most difficult poles ever. The DBS and 599 are just incredible. The Lambo is hot still and Veyron outpowers them all. Forget the SLR.

Sorry SLR lovers, but in this group the SLR doesnt cut it for me. The DBS is infinitely more gorgeous, the Bugatti kills it on the road, the 599 GTB is a easily the best GT in the world and the Lambo is just way more exotic looking. Unless it is the SLR roadster I'm so over the SLR at this point, especially the contrived looking 722 Edition.

In a way I can understand. The SLR has been around a while, but so has the lambo. I believe as MB fans we have gotten use to the SLR and just not as "amazed" as we were before.
I still believe it is a worthy competitior and the automatic puts it above the others for me considering I hate manual. | | | | | Devotee

599 GTB has F1.
LP640 has E-gear.
Veyron has DSG. | | | | | Advocate

And I think Bugatti is winning...  | | | | |
