Testarossa. At least it's remotely driveable

The Countach because I'd rather be in Monaco than Utah.

Neither.. but if'n I had too, I'd go Testarossa simply to let my mum have a go, as it is her dream car.

I would love to drive both, but if it were one or the other, I would take the Countach for a flogging. I kind of like a car that's a challenge.

A friend of mine actually owns a TR amongst other interesting cars. I've rode in it before and it wasn't as exotic as I thought it would be. Though I will say it was still awesome. For some reason I want to say Countach hoping that it will be more unique. Though when James May drove his 'hero' he was disappointed.

I'm just here to say that I don't like those 512TR wheels on a classic Testarossa.

If it was 1990, I'd take the TR and move to Florida. But for 2014, the Countach is hotter.

The Countach is the Countach. It is a singular creation in automotive culture, and for that it is to be cherished through all its manifestations. Feel free to have a favorite (one of the three Walter Wolf-modified cars would have to be mine) but realize that they are terribly difficult machines. I literally do not fit in one, and even if I did they carry a resounding legacy for having heavy controls, minimal visibility, and sometimes tricky handling. Fantastic but prohibitive.
The Testarossa is a Ferrari, if even a somewhat inferior one. It is mechanically solid, well-tuned, refined. I could get in one here in New York and drive to my brother's place in Monterey, California, and it would never be less than confident and reasonably comfortable and supremely capable the entire time, especially given roads similar to its home territory in the Italian mountains. I could not do that in the Countach.
The Testarossa by default, but also on the merits.

Ever since I was a kid and these cars were brand new, I've respected the Countach (had a poster on my wall) but preferred the Testarossa (even though Ferrari was represented on my wall by an F40).

Make a pre-wing Countach and I'm all over that like a hobo on a ham sandwich...

One is beautiful and driveable, the other started as a work of art better left stationary and devolved into a caricature of a supercar.
I'll have the red-head please.

That must be an old picture because these days, no matter the time of year, you'll find at least five "carspotters" standing at the Fairmont hairpin waiting for toupees in shiny bits of metal to come roaring by.*

Countach. I have very little self control, so I'm going to drive it like I stole it. The Lambo has a well deserved reputation for crashing in spectacular fashion when a ham fisted hack like me tries to drive it at 11/10ths. I'd rather die in a flaming wreck then be horribly injured and disfigured.
Only exception: if the wreck gave me super powers.
