Which racecar would you choose?

[Fire It Up]

For me, I'd take an F1 or a rally car. I can't decide which.....F1 cars can pull 5 g's and go 200mph but rally cars can be jumped and drifted like crazy.....

[giant_mtb]

Is this just a car that we would have?  Would it serve any specific purpose?  Daily driver?  Or just a dink-around car?

A car that you could do whatever you wanted with, but I seriously doubt that you'd want an F1 car for a daily grind.

Rally car.  Fast as hell and can be put through a lot of abuse...plus if I really wanted to, I could pretty easily make it street legal and go around and show it off around town. ^_^

[Run Away]

Tossup between a touring car and a rally car..

Fuck legality, just drive it.

OK, I'll take a Champ car. Rally cars are too weak (in this situation) and F1 cars would just break over bumps. Champ cars can actually go over bumps. And theyre faster and better handling than Indy cars.

[MX793]

By Le Mans car, are we talking GT class or the Prototype (LMP) class?

[Fire It Up]

Whichever. Just specify.

[Raghavan]

Rally or DTM.

Same here.  I mean:



vs.



It's a really tough choice.

rally car.  they're fast anywhere, on any surface.

That's how I solved the Touring Car vs. Rally Car puzzle...Rally Cars are much more versatile and still fast as hell on roads...  B)

F1, its the most impractical, but it would be insane on the track. Plus i bet it has insane resale value

Dude, an F1 car probably costs more than the entire north side of my town.

Just wanted to say, they're nowhere near as fast as the others on roads because theyre pushing around....300HP while the others have between 600 (Indy) and 800 (F1).

That and it would be really fun to take it somewhere like Ft. Lauderdale and destroy the egos of every Ferrari owner there

With a Formula One car, you could destroy God's ego.

I wasn't sure if you were implying that they were somewhere as fast as the others on pavement so I said it anyway. Hey, on these forums, you can never be sure what people don't know. I won't say any names.....

I would never question if a rally car would be as fast as an F1 car on road.  <_<

But, if you like driving cars that basically drive themselves, and just feel like pushing the gas, braking, and steering with not much driver involvement besides pissing in your driving suit, go for it.

I'd much rather have a real car that actually requires some skill like throttle control and more than a touch of steering input.  Those F1 guys would absolutely die if it wasn't for their downforce and traction control.

I wouldn't mind being able to really drive the car without having to worry about snapping off an entire suspension link from a tiny bump in a wall.

No way does F1 require as much as Rally racing.

Nope, you're not.
Steve, keep in mind that rally cars are pretty fast on road, and monsters off road. Trying taking your F1 car offroad. I dont' think it'd survive 10 seconds off road. Rally cars are much more rounded. B)
I"ve made my choice. Rally cars it is.

Don't forgot though that Rally Cars are artificially restricted by severe air inlet restricions. Take those out and they would be very powerful.

I'm no engineer, but a car that can create 500lb/ft of tourque while be restricted should be able to create a TON of hp and torque when the restrictor is taken out.
