Default Ferrari 250SWB or Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato

These are competing GT race-ready road cars. They are both worth about the same. They are from rival design firms (Pinin Farina vs. Zagato). They are both shortened wheel base versions of the "regular" production vehicles (250 GT and DB4, respectively) So, which would you take?

Even back then, they cars looked like Cat fish... glad to see they kept the tradition though I'd pick the Ferrari.

Wow, good to see someone post some of my favorite cars!! Awesome! Honestly, that would be a tough decision. I would probably opt for the Aston as it is quite rare; and it is quite different from the regular DB4 AND the DB4GT without the Zagato bodies. Besides, its just one of the prettiest things to ever come out of England (even if they needed Zagato to help them! ) Going with the Ferrari is like going for Pam Anderson; its very obvious and in your face. Going for the Aston is like going for the "more interesting" but less "mass appealing" girl. Definitely one of the prettiest Ferraris ever made. That and the Lusso. But the Zagato just "does" it for me. I'll always prefer a tailor made suit from Saville Row rather than an Armani!

Heh, the ferrari isn't exactly low class.

I'll take the Aston, it has always been on my top 3. The Ferrari is definately nice too.

???? The Zagato bodied DBs where only DB4s. Comparing a DB5 to these is like comparing apples to oranges. A regular DB5 is not in the same league as these short wheel based track cars. You could definitely compare a regular bodied DB4GT with the DB4GT Zagato though.
