I prefer power. Speed != power, although often power equals speed.

By power, I mean the ability to, you know, do shit.

A sports car is low to the ground, aerodynamic, etc - but the hell if you could use it to pull a boat. Get it off the asphalt, and it's as weak as a kitten. Sure, the engine is powerful, but the car itself isn't very capable. In a land without roads, it is nothing.

However, these days, luxury cars tend to be powerful and fast as well. After all, you have to justify the high price tag. ;) In this quiz, I'd choose luxury, especially something like a luxury SUV. Versitile, powerful and fast for anything you're going to be doing with it. After all, if I'm going to be caught for 2 hours in traffic, speed ain't gonna do much for me, is it?

In the end, though - give me a truck any day over a sports or luxury car. ;)

    F-250 Powerstroke Diesel
    With a 5 inch lift. 36inch tires....

    With that damn performance chip. bye bye gas milage.....

    Thats, the real deal. When that turbo kicks in, there are few rice burning pieces of crap that can match it.

    Out of those two, speed. Luxury is nice(it is luxury after all), but there's no fun in that. Besides, not everyone obeys the law ;)

    I'm soo going to jail the same day I get my liscence...

    EDIT: My choice. Looks! Get from one place to the next in STYLE!(I know, I'm shallow)

    Both. A lot of luxury cars have good engines in them. Bentley Continental is great example of luxury and sports.

    Bentley Continental was designed with more luxury in mind than speed.

    I'd definitely go for the luxury. I'm not a fan of 120+ mph speeds and blazing cop chases.

    Did Sonic just say he could take a Pick-Up truck against most Japanese Cars ohmy.gif

    You have a thing for muscle cars, but I'd take a Subaru WRX over any American Junktoy.

    I also used to ride a ZX-10R. But that's not even fair to compare that to a car, there's just no contest.

    It's a close race between luxury and speed. I don't see the point in having a REALLY fast car because the fastest you can go (here anyway) is like 100km/h...However, there are a lot of really nice fast sports cars.

    My uncle has a 1981 Porsche 928. It's a fantastic car. Way beyond it's time. Power steering, power windows, power locks, sun roof, V8 engine with 302 horse power. Amazing!

    Speed for sure, lots of new cars that are built for performance which are still street legal are still very lugurious.

    Luxury. I'd rather sit in the back of my nice car with a mini-fridge full of drinks sipping wine with friends instead of having a fast car and getting pulled over by the cops for speeding.
