Both do a great job of filling the need for speed. A lot of great sounding cars in that line-up.

I'd be really happy with 12.1. That smokes 98% of all cars on the road...

The brought out the wrong Porsche. Carrera S? Give me a break. They should have brought out a GT2-RS.

But the Aventador would still have won.

The drag race part of this whole writeup was terribly dissapointing... The benz gets an awful jump off the line.

For those that don't know, in the actual ranking of "best drivers car", the benz takes second losing only to the Porsche.

If anything, I kind of want a turbo BRZ now....
