Late '70s European GT versus thread

Representing Germany The Mercedes 450 SL

Representing England The XJS

And Representing Italy The Ferrari 400i

you gave a hard one here...

Is it true that the 400i is a short people only car? I'm 6'3" and I think they're gorgeous...

do we have to own/maintain/repair them, or just enjoy them as they sit?

That is what I have heard.

If it is my vote, I would go XJS.

You should add the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the BMW 6 series although its only a six cylinder.

if you are going to include the vantage and the BMW.. the 6er better be an M6

anybody order a U-Boat?

Ferrari for sure (I'm short).

In reply to oldtin:

Well crap, I didn't think of the 928. But I am still sticking the the first three.

I would go 450 SL....because it's a tank.

Can we include the Jensen Interceptor?

Must a GT have two doors?

lets get through the first 3 and then we can compare it to the rest,

I think I am going to vote for the Jag. That was one of the not so pretty Ferraris

I want the benz. It seems like it would be a good "hop-in-and-go-to-the-beach kinda car.

Representing Sweden, the Volvo 262c

Okay, not going to win anything except the oddball competition, but I figured Sweden needed to be represented as well.

450 SL for realz

The only pretty Ferraris in my book are the F40 and the 458 Italia. Some of the really old stuff was also beautiful.

Ferrari

I'm also un-tall, so I'll take the 400 with a 5-speed in not-red, please

Ferrari. No contest.

Ferrari, didn't even have to think about it.

Ferrari

see.. out of the three.. the Jag is the one I have unholy dreams of molesting

The Benz is the one I would daily drive.
The Ferrari is the one I would preserve/store/look at.
The Jag is the one I would modify.
