My dad's bigger than yours and he's a policeman who will come and arrest you and put you in prison and stuff.

(he's not a copper really just in case anyone accuses him of being a c*nt)

I think Some Car is faster, but Another Car has more torque!

Some car would win throught the twisties, but another car would be better in the wet. And you could chip it to give much more power than either.

I had some car a couple of years ago but now have another car.
Never looked back

My wife also had some car and recently changed to another car but hers doesn't seem quite as good as mine...which is strange.

Nobody's looking at this one subjectively, clearly you cannot compare some car vs another car without taking into account some other factors. You would have to consider that some driver in some car may be better than another driver in the other car. It's pretty clear to me!

Another factor would have to be that some driver in some car may not be able to handle the power so would have to swap for another car.
Can't see the same happening when another driver trades in for some car though.

I dunno, personally I wouldn't choose either car, I'd rather go for the other car myself.

Can sort of see your point, but....

Any other driver in any other "faster car" would surely have the advantage?

What tyres do they have, and is there the same amount of tread left?

Talking

right, once and for all. If some car and another car had identical specs, driven by the same any old driver, which would you go for?

Neither.

Or both?

I'd go for the one driven by me, not by the same any old driver. Well known fact that "my car is quicker than yours" - whether it's some car or another doesn't matter. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that.

It's quite simple to sort this out objectively. I've got reviews of some car and another car pasted out of two different magazines at different times. We can accurately factor out the bias caused by measurements taken by some journalist and another journalist at different tracks at different times. (Although it was rumoured that the other press car was slightly 'non-standard'.)

My money's on both of them being better in 'real-world' driving.
