View Full Version : carrera GT or Zonda F? chetrickerman 12-09-2007, 04:04 PM which would you rather have? dillsrotary 12-09-2007, 04:17 PM porsche, removable roof and that v10 sounds like heaven in the top gear episode of it. chetrickerman 12-09-2007, 04:23 PM haha, i just watched that one, thats why i posted this. BigRed 12-09-2007, 04:44 PM no choice but porsche...ill take either one of them though if you pay :) smy266 12-09-2007, 04:46 PM the porsche is pure sex chetrickerman 12-09-2007, 04:53 PM but you shouldnt be so quick to choose the porsche. the Zonda F is a brilliant car. its nimble, sexy, and has lots of power also. i would say watch these and then vote :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1pLdr_Bg8s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CvjTEEGk7g BigRed 12-09-2007, 05:01 PM I would say, the feel of the porsche is amazing! i sat in the gt and its ridonculous! smy266 12-09-2007, 05:03 PM i prefer the looks of the porsche more chetrickerman 12-09-2007, 05:04 PM I would say, the feel of the porsche is amazing! i sat in the gt and its ridonculous! WHAT??!! what is it like? i want to hear how that engine sounds in person. i would probably wet myself. same with a 26b BigRed 12-09-2007, 05:09 PM i wasnt in it when it was driven, but something even faster--ruf rt12. the design of the porsche is so precise though. the engine cover is at least within 2 cm of the wing. its crazy! refugeefrompistons 12-09-2007, 05:18 PM Porsche looks better. Sorry Zonda F. Looks like everyone rather have the Porsche. NgoRX8 12-09-2007, 05:59 PM carrera gt for sure! alfy28 12-09-2007, 06:33 PM carrera has a nice arse. EdwardsB 12-09-2007, 06:41 PM If only I actually had the money to be really making this decision! Anyway the Porsche without a doubt, theres just something about it?!? faboo 12-09-2007, 06:44 PM 9 out of 10 days i would say the porsche....but i voted ZondaF...its fast...and has more of a supercar look... A car should look like its price tag.....the GT looks semi mundane BlueEyes 12-10-2007, 11:32 AM I can't believe I am in the minority in choosing the Zonda F. Pure sex, especially in bare carbon. It's what a super car should be, a giant "fuck you, you poor bastards" to everyone who sees you driving it. From the videos, pictures and reviews, the attention to detail is phenomenal and the driving experience divine. Then there is the price, which is about double that of the CGT, and the resale is no doubt much stronger. The CGT is almost plain in comparison. BigRed 12-10-2007, 11:37 AM ^im surprised that you picked the Zonda F also... tajabaho1 12-10-2007, 11:57 AM I'd pick the Carerra GT, why? because the looks are better more sleek and lovely than the Zonda, but the Zonda is a better performance car chetrickerman 12-10-2007, 12:10 PM well its pretty even right now. 10 for Zonda, and 13 for Carrera termigni 12-10-2007, 12:12 PM Zonda tjbourgoyne 12-10-2007, 12:27 PM porsche, removable roof and that v10 sounds like heaven in the top gear episode of it. Zonda Roadster F has a removable top. rotary crazy 12-10-2007, 01:23 PM I have a friend that has a CARRERA GT and a ENZO :) tajabaho1 12-10-2007, 01:27 PM ^ I have all the exotic cars in the world. too bad they're all 1/26 scale rotary crazy 12-10-2007, 01:47 PM love scale models, I have all important mazda rece car models, I think I have about 20 stickmantijuana 12-10-2007, 01:52 PM gt sounds so much better. zonda's a better car tho, no doubt. i'd go with zonda just because my attending has a gt and all i like about it is its sound. i think they really butchered the body line with the gt. looks quite odd if you look at it in person long enough. stickmantijuana 12-10-2007, 01:55 PM what i do wanna know is, why are these cars so damn heavy with all carbon frame? thsy're almost 3000lbs (the gt, enzo, etc.) rx8 is around that. i don't get it. i'd expect 2000lbs at the least with all carbon. rx8, if you change up the frame to carbon, it'd weigh lot less than those two and will have all amenities and will be able to seat 4. faboo 12-10-2007, 03:36 PM http://blog50.fc2.com/p/photoshocks/file/pagani_zonda_f_roadster_400_104.jpg It screams supercar... Anything over 200K, i dont want to be regular SlayerRX8 12-10-2007, 04:50 PM Definitely the Zonda F. It's faster, it's rare, etc. If I had to actually pay for a supercar? It would be the Ford GT40. A simple pulley change, and the car is making more power than the Zonda F. tj7723 12-10-2007, 05:15 PM Porsche all day long, the Zonda is faster but i just love the way the GT looks BigRed 12-10-2007, 05:23 PM Definitely the Zonda F. It's faster, it's rare, etc. If I had to actually pay for a supercar? It would be the Ford GT40. A simple pulley change, and the car is making more power than the Zonda F. wait a second, since when is the carrera gt not rare? lol... and do you mean ford gt, or gt40? i think the gt... BlueEyes 12-10-2007, 05:38 PM Relative to the Zonda, the Carrera GT is not rare. I think I read somewhere that the Carrera GT sold more than the Enzo, Maclaren F1 and Zonda combined. BlueEyes 12-10-2007, 05:43 PM what i do wanna know is, why are these cars so damn heavy with all carbon frame? thsy're almost 3000lbs (the gt, enzo, etc.) rx8 is around that. i don't get it. i'd expect 2000lbs at the least with all carbon. rx8, if you change up the frame to carbon, it'd weigh lot less than those two and will have all amenities and will be able to seat 4. I would think, at least in the case of the Zonda, that having a giant V12 would have something to do with it. The Zonda only weighs 2700 lbs, and I would guess the V12 weighs pretty darn close to 700lbs. BigRed 12-10-2007, 05:49 PM does it really matter to you if they made 500 or 20? seriously though, the numbers are very different, but think across the whole world. do you really care that there would be just that many more in the world? at that point, buy the car that you want--not because it is rare. its that if you know porsche delivers with their boxster, they have to deliver with a care more than 30 times the price...lol chetrickerman 12-10-2007, 05:57 PM i just want to say, that if you are spending that kind of cash, you KNOW what you want. but im impartial to either one. the are both amazing c0ldf1ame 12-10-2007, 05:58 PM zonda F, hands down how can you say no to that... http://www.fast-cars.ch/images/Pagani/Zonda_F/Pagani_Zonda_F_Interior_1.jpg chetrickerman 12-10-2007, 06:00 PM wow. that is breathtaking. BUT kind of girly delhi 12-10-2007, 06:01 PM zonda F, hands down how can you say no to that... http://www.fast-cars.ch/images/Pagani/Zonda_F/Pagani_Zonda_F_Interior_1.jpg Errr.... NO. In about 8 years this interior is as dated as the Countach. :uhh: But that thing in the middle of the seat may interest females. :) c0ldf1ame 12-10-2007, 06:23 PM i think the porsche interior will age faster than the zonda, (but maybe not the red interior) think 80s spacy designs, italian leather never goes out of style http://www.carspace.com/arvin1/Albums/Interior%20Car%20Pictures/originals/porsche-carrera-gt-4376.jpg/photo/v./original.jpg BigRed 12-10-2007, 06:37 PM i read wrong...so what if they sold a lot more than 500 :) tajabaho1 12-10-2007, 07:02 PM ok, seeing that interior, I am definitly X2 on the porsche thecow135 12-10-2007, 09:37 PM porche for looks, zonda F for performance anet1737 12-10-2007, 10:00 PM ooh damn it..i love both of 'em SlayerRX8 12-11-2007, 02:27 AM wait a second, since when is the carrera gt not rare? lol... and do you mean ford gt, or gt40? i think the gt... I mean the GT. Called it the GT40 to make sure everyone knows I don't mean a mustang. ;) And the Carrera GT is rare, but I've seen a couple on the street. I've never seen a Zonda in person. StuttgartRX8 12-11-2007, 04:54 AM Carrera GT hands down I see one at least once a week and I love the sound and looks of them BlueEyes 12-11-2007, 08:54 AM I realize it's different strokes for different folks, yada yada, but I can't help but think that people just have no idea about the level of detail and thought the Zonda has been designed with. I mean, the cars are built one at a time, by hand and every detail is customizable. Don't get me wrong, the CGT is an incredible car, but the Zonda is just in another league, it's art on wheels. chetrickerman 12-11-2007, 10:34 AM and that V12 is amazing. but then the GT sounds so cool tajabaho1 12-11-2007, 10:45 AM if they can customize the seat and don't put red in, I'm down for zonda, lower roof line too pls delhi 12-11-2007, 12:18 PM I just hate those silly quad exhaust pipes of the Zonda. Too Flash Gordon for me. reaper1 12-11-2007, 12:35 PM Carrera GT That other thing, looks to damn funky for me ........ guidocatrx7 12-11-2007, 01:04 PM I like the cup holders in the seat where your crotch should go. That's innovative. tajabaho1 12-11-2007, 01:06 PM u mean dildo holder? c0ldf1ame 12-11-2007, 02:33 PM i think zonda is by far the more exotic car, thats like comparing a honda to a bmw, although i wouldnt mind either if it were given to me:yumyum: tajabaho1 12-11-2007, 02:45 PM what? a porsche carerra GT is by no means a honda....................=.= delhi 12-11-2007, 04:20 PM I think the RX-8 is more exotic that both. It doesn't even use the conventional piston engine! Cody Red 12-11-2007, 04:36 PM i'll take the zonda because the interior is ballin' chetrickerman 12-11-2007, 05:33 PM I think the RX-8 is more exotic that both. It doesn't even use the conventional piston engine! :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: SINCE WHEN??!! c0ldf1ame 12-11-2007, 05:42 PM ok maybe not a honda, Originally a production run of 1,500 cars was planned. But Porsche announced in August, 2005 that it would not continue production of the Carrera GT through 2006, citing discontinuation was due to changing airbag regulations in the US. As of May 6, 2006, 1,270 GT's had been manufactured, with 604 being sold in the United States.[4] Production of the Zonda F will be limited to 25 cars, still not US compatible. The next model, due to be unveiled in 2009, will be fully EPA/DOT compatible. Bester 12-11-2007, 06:15 PM Not to get off topic, but,... I have not seen either car in person. I have seen/heard an Enzo. O.M.G. Magazine pictures do not do this car justice. SlayerRX8 12-12-2007, 08:08 PM If any of you want to see a Carrera GT in person, you guys can come to my car club meet in the spring. People bring all kinds of exotics, and every year a guy brings his CGT. I will admit that the exhaust note is AMAZING in person. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/humai/College%20Park%20Car%20Show/Carrera%20GT.JPG Here's the thread with more pics of the CGT and other nice cars all over the first page. I don't want to post huge pics in this thread too. http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=115424 chetrickerman 12-12-2007, 08:10 PM oh . . . oh . . . . oh . . . . . oh i just fapped i can only imagine what it sounds like c0ldf1ame 12-12-2007, 08:14 PM there was a GT at 7stock, cept it never made it into the lot, think it saw all the rx7s and got scurred :lol2: SlayerRX8 12-12-2007, 08:15 PM oh . . . oh . . . . oh . . . . . oh i just fapped i can only imagine what it sounds like HAHAHAHA....let me see if I can find the video we took of this one revving. chetrickerman 12-12-2007, 08:17 PM aight. if only maryland was closer. then i could also see my prego sister chetrickerman 12-12-2007, 08:18 PM and those headlights bear a striking resemblance to the 8's SlayerRX8 12-12-2007, 08:45 PM I can't find the video. :( But here's a different one to give you an idea of what it's like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoEH7escyyI&feature=related NoVa 12-12-2007, 09:42 PM Way back when i was given the privilege of seeing one in person when they first came out. Somehow at an insurance company this car was parked a half mile away from my house. I took pictures and stood there in awe of this car. It may still be on this website Edit: found the link http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=35752&page=2&highlight=look+what+i+found lesper4 12-15-2007, 12:57 PM have been thinking about this for a while and the porsche does sound much better and the looks of the two in my opinion are about tht same i would rather say when someone asks what is that, say, " a zonda" BlueEyes 12-16-2007, 04:34 PM I didn't see this video posted, and since everyone is talking about the sound of the CGT, I think it's appropriate: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MiroepFi1fw chetrickerman 12-16-2007, 04:38 PM wow, that sounds amazing. just brutal, raw sound |
