Title: Speed, or Style?
Post by: CMan on May 11, 2007, 11:07:19 AM
My posts have stirred up some, uh, stuff lately. So let me ask... :praise:

Representing style, the '58 Cadillac. Representing speed, the Murcielago LP640. Why did I pick that car? Because, like the Caddy, it's outrageous, and it's frickin' fast. 219 MPH, 0-60 in 3.4.

I'll pick the Lambo, because I think it's a beautiful car in it's own right, and because a lot of fins piss me off.



I would've picked an E-type or XK 140/150 to represent style and an F40 or Enzo to represent speed, but to each their own.

You're getting it all wrong if you think it boils down to speed versus style.

The classic Caddy has an Ontario Historic Vehicle plate :rockon:

Good man.

Anybody can go fast.  Looking good doing it is the trick.

I like both in a car and fortunately there are many cars that deliver.    I think the Murcielago has lot's of style. And no offense but I think the Cadillac is kind of ugly.

It looks better from the front, and while its one of the most sought after post war Caddies, I don't think its the best looking one of that era either.

But maybe again it would hae been better to choose a Lamborghini with more style?

I chose the Lambo because it has speed and style.
